about

Written by Matt Rivers, in the long, hot, Summer of 2020. This is a song about Antifascism, and how, somehow, that's a bad thing... A little worrisome if you ask me.

lyrics

Well, I’m gonna join the Antifa
Pay my respects to great grandpa
Who died way back in ’43 (didn’t invade til 44)
In that land called Germany

Well, I’m gonna join the Antifash
‘Cause swastikas are fun to smash
For freedom’s sake, we can’t abide
Time to say goodnight to old white pride

Proud Boy, what are you proud of?
This stolen land? This sea of blood?
This probably isn’t news to you
But Hitler was a proud boy too

We don’t need no Ku Klux Klown
When a bad dog bites we put it down
So here’s to burning Rebel Flags
For those who lose ought not to brag

We all agreed, or I thought we had
That fascism is always bad
So how the Hell’d it come to this?
If you’re afraid then you’re fascist

I can’t just sit idly by
While Nazi flags are waving high
To curb the tide I’ll risk my neck
Hey George Soros, where’s my check!?
