A Song for the Fascists

Last edited Sun Jan 12, 2025, 11:16 AM - Edit history (1)

I would be so happy if someone put this to music and posted themself in lots of places performing it. Hell, I’d be even happier if lots of folks did that.


A Song for the Fascists

We won’t let you take it,
we won’t let you be
the agent of destruction
of your neighbors just like me.

You can take your racist bullshit
and shove up your rump,
you silly, little hateful fools
who voted Donald Trump.

This country is divided
and that’s just what you need,
so billionaires and other loons
can wallow in their greed.

You’ve got the House and Senate,
and ruined the high court
and limited the rights of folks
safely to abort.

But America is about much more
than all the hate you feel.
You’ll find that out when you go and try
to make your final steal.

We’ll fight you and we’ll beat you
in the courtrooms and the the streets
and know you by your dumb red hats
that replaced your klannish sheets

And one day when your children ask
which side that you had picked
You probably will lie and say
you never voted for that dick.

But we won’t let you fake it,
we won’t let you be
the agent of destruction
of your neighbors just like me.

It may take a hundred years
to clear away the smoke
but history will not forget
about all the lives you broke.

So, we won’t let you take it,
we won’t let you be
the agent of destruction
of your neighbors just like me.

The days will pass into the years
and hateful folks like you
will always be remembered
for the harm you meant to do.

I’d love to hear it to music! It would be a great mocking fight song to sing at magaloons.
