Chumbawamba - On The Day The Nazi Died 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...

    It matters not where you hail, your ideology, your religion, nor your creed; what matters is that we all take action against this threat whenever it rekindles. Ultimately, it is the people that are the safeguards of democracy.

  9. S.... ....

    No pasaran!

    Real Americans, real Russians and real Britons kill Nazis

    97 now, they way they've been reacting you'd think that someone told them "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas".

    "The history books they tell of their defeat at '45 but they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died."
    Now #45 has come out of the woodwork on the day Heather Heyer died to tell us that the Nazis never really went away.

  22. G.... ....

    Rest in power, Heather Heyer.
    We'll never rest again.

    Good song

    Understatement... I'm a Metalhead and I still think this is cooler than most Metal.

  25. D.... S....

    Antifasc Nazibash.

  26. V.... ....

    we liberate our country(Greece) all alone at 2ndww. And now we have them here again as economical conquerors. But we will beat them again. Coming soon

    V.... ....

    I hope that by 'them here again' you mean specifically Nazis, except now in the form of Goldman Sachs and other banks, and not all modern day Germans.

    V.... ....

    Oh fuck off, will ya? Theres a whole shit load of legitimate issues to criticise about mordern day Germany. Their Euro politics among them. But the Federal Republic of Germany is not the thrid Reich. Merkel is not Hitler. Stop making these ridiculous claims. You're trivialising the Nazi Regime when you compare them to modern day Germany.

  27. C.... G....

    time to #GutTheFascist !!

  28. F.... ....

    killem faster

  29. J.... C....

    F**k! Where is Chumbawamba while David Duke, the KKK and #trumpolini threatens us all!? The Ramones sang the KKK took my baby away, but they are mostly dead :-(

    J.... C....

    funny thing though, in the song the "KKK" is actually Ramone (in most tellings) it either derives from a overprotective father of a black girl Joey had been seeing. or maybe a joke about Johnny stealing his girlfriend.

    J.... C....

    Jorge Castillo they split up in 2012, alas. Pussy Riot has a great song called simply "Make Amerika Great Again", I think spelled with the k. the mood of the song is sort of pop-ish bit the imagery of the video is dark as hell.

    @Unity Valkyrie Mitford
    I knew someone who told me they started out as a punk band.  I never believed him...

    A.... A....

    They were always punk. Tubthumping had songs on the same album about antimonarchy and fascist resistance. It just wasn't the part that people latched onto.

    A.... A....

    Me too. Turns out they're pretty rad.

    A.... A....

    I always thought they were a friendly version of The Crass that kind of sold out and died at some point.

    A.... A....

    Chumbawamba is one of the greatest anti-facist bands ever.
