David Bowie - Under The God Lyrics






Skin dance back at the condo,
Skin heads getting to school,
Beating on Blacks with a baseball bat,
Racism back in rule,

White trash picking up Nazi flags,
While you was gone, there was war,
This is the West, get used to it,
They put a swastika over the door,

Under the God, under the God,
One step over the red line,
Under the God, under the God,
Ten steps over the crazy crazy,

Washington heads in the toilet bowl,
Don't see supremacist hate,
Right wing dicks in their boiler suits,
Picking out who to annihilate,

Toxic jungle of Uzi trails
Tribesmen just wouldn't live here
Fascist flare is fashion cool
Well, you're dead, you just ain't buried, yet

Under the God, under the God,
Oh yeah,
Under the God, under The God,

As the walls came tumbling down,
So, the secrets that we shared,
I believed you by the palace gates,
Now the savage days are here,

Under the God,
Yeah, yeah,

Mmm, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh,

Under the God, under the God,
One step over the red line,
Under the God, under the God,
One step into the crazy, crazy,

Crazy eyed man with a shot gun,
Hot headed creep with a knife,
Love and peace and harmony,
Love you could cult with a life,

Under the God, under the God,
Raging down, raging down, down yeah,
Under the God, under the God, oh

David Bowie Under The God Comments
  1. T.... C....

    I sure would like to see original video. That kicked asd

    T.... C....

    ASS!!!LOL

  2. K.... ....

    God I fucking love this song

  3. T.... M....

    Bowie actually had fascist instincts. But he got in trouble with the Left so he made this song to get cred with them back.

    T.... M....

    @Stuart Maxwell Oh yeah, the music is good. Most musicians have pretty messed up lives and go along with political fashion. But can still make music. Look at John Lennon.

    T.... M....

    Those stuck in a paradigm where there is only a left or right, still have their mom making lunch for them. The two party system is for a mass of idiots that think freedom is having two choices.

    T.... M....

    @Mark Stewart It's a spectrum representing tendencies on several important and connected issues. But hey, Mr Stewart has decreed that what makes no sense for him is not allowed to be useful for anyone else. Sounds like your average libertarian!

    T.... M....

    @Stuart Maxwell hmm, I got a Mr...thanks? The two party system isn't as you wish to white wash it. The two party system is for the lazy and the thoughtless. You possibly believe that each "party" is some sort of official egalitarian representative of one of two ways to reason about social issues. Both parties act against the general interest of the American people. Plus it gives dullards the notion that an issue has opposites; counters and differences, yes, but not opposites.

    Am I libertarian, assuming its current form? No way in hell. In a traditional sense, ah, I like liberty...yeah?

    Your two party framing only serves to misinform people that only two options are available...out of thousands of issues. In other words, the two party system is for children.

    I want issue driven politics, not candidate driven politics. Any wolf in sheeps clothing can feel ok to pet.

    T.... M....

    @Mark Stewart Thinking that the concept of left and right is useful is not the same as believing in a two-party system. You're obviously a lefty who hasn't even got the courage to nail your colours to the wall, as you were provoked by two right-leaning commenters.

  4. H.... M....

    A rocking goood song about the rise of fascism again in the modern era

    H.... M....

    Don't be a drongo - communism killed ten times more people than fascism.

  5. D.... W....

    Much as I love Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, they don’t ‘rock’ like this!

    D.... W....

    not even close. This music is dangerous; unlike the corporate foos...

    D.... W....

    @Jimmy Clip The lefty liberal outlook in these lyrics is the epitome of today's corporate establishment, idiot.

  6. V.... M....

    Bowie’s voice...

  7. G.... J....

    Others can get caught up in the lyrics - whatever they say??? - but I'll just enjoy the music.

  8. D.... J....

    Bowie: hey guys fascism is bad
    American right: *TRIGGERED*

  9. C.... S....

    Under The Slump(trump)

    C.... S....

    He has not done a thing,only cause chaos,

    C.... S....

    Wait For the Blackout No that was Obama.

  10. T.... R....

    Epic rocker!

  11. K.... H....

    Spontaneously prescient.

  12. N.... N....

    I love Bowie, but we can't all be politically minded. If you believe the message of this song you're a fool.

    N.... N....

    Nazi punk. Fuck off.

    N.... N....

    C W Englert Ever since Bowie made his daft salute in 1976 he's been trying to make up for it with clumsy anti-Right virtue signalling. What he didn't realise is that unlike the dimwitted Left, we don't care about the lame political opinions of actors and musicians. The flabby outmoded liberal-left establishment is dying. Conservatism and nationalism are the new counterculture. A Bowie fan of 36 years.

    N.... N....

    Stuart Maxwell hand in your Bowie badge. You are a dying breed.

  13. T.... O....

    Notice that if any other group asserts its rights, it is called good. But if Whites to it, it is "evil". That's about to change. Get used to it.

    T.... O....

    Stuart Maxwell you have no historical facts to back up any of your claims. Go find a Proud Bois group to adopt you.

    T.... O....

    @Biff McLargeHuge What do you think of when you think of Europe? a functioning and respected EU?.....or nationalism rising?.....? thanks

    T.... O....

    @Stuart Maxwell I don't know what to say. You're logic is astounding

    T.... O....

    Take a look around the world. Nationalism is definitely on the rise. When darkness and light collide. Light always wins

    T.... O....

    ​@Troy Cleek Yep nationalism on the rise - working class people may get some control over their communities and culture again, taking control back from middle class wankers.

  14. I.... C....

    Never been more relevant than now... can't believe this came out so long ago, it could have been today.

    I.... C....

    Nostalgia Notes Liberals can't behave any other way than stupid.

    I.... C....

    You gotta love how all of these single cell organisms, (you know who you are) wake up one day and imagine that they are in a position intellectually and ethically to stand in direct opposition to the message of every religion on Earth, ie : the golden rule. Most of them claim to be Christian yet they reject forgiveness and embrace the Old Testament anti ethos of an eye for an eye, the very principle that necessitated a New Testament. Jesus is gettin ready to tell'em what time it is.

    I.... C....

    Stuart Maxwell triggered by Bowie lol

  15. P.... O....

    Uno de esos grandes temas que bien podría decirse pasaron inadvertidos a finales de los ochenta y que, con el paso de los años se revaloriza. Potente, áspero y bailable, rock solido con el que Bowie experimentó y que no obtuvo los réditos comerciales esperados, de ahí la efímera trayectoria de la banda con la participación de este. El tema editado en el 89 lo firma el propio Bowie.

  16. E.... E....

    One of Bowie's best 90s songs in my opinion-brutal lyrics, brutal beat from the Sales Bros, great vocals.

    E.... E....

    If by best you mean a nonsensical & uninformed take on American politics & religion, then fuck yea. It's the best.

    E.... E....

    Nostalgia Notes you’re not very clever are you ?
