Chumbawamba – The Day the Nazi Died
Here’s a ;little Anti-Fascist ditty from the Northern English Anarcho-Punk band Chumbawamba. ‘The Day the Nazi Died’ is a nice little upbeat song with a stark reminder that Nazism and fascism isnt just something that went away at the end of World “War two, but is still rife today.
Lyrics;
We’re told that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race
The history books they tell of their defeat in ’45
But they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
They say the prisoner at Spandau was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists, they were beat
So the promise of an Aryan world would never materialize
So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died?
The world is riddled with maggots, the maggots are getting fat
They’re making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They’re taking over the boardrooms and they’re fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died
So if you meet with these historians, I’ll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They’re out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we’ll never rest again until every Nazi dies
Chumbawamba
Chumbawamba were an Anarcho-Punk group from Burnley in the North of England. Many of their songs had an upbeat tune to them, but they always carried a political message. They’ve always appealed generally more to the underground scene. However, they did have a Hit single ‘Tubthumping’ in 1993 that shot to the Number One position in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
