Here we come
\nMarching down the street.
\nWe’re gonna check the I.D.’s of
\nEveryone we meet.<\/p>\n
Hey, hey, we’re the fascists
\nAnd we’re not going to monkey around.
\nYou’d better listen to us
\nOr we will put you down.<\/p>\n
We say whatever we want to
\nAnd do what we have to do.
\nWe don’t have time for your protests.
\nWe’re compiling a file on you.<\/p>\n
Hey, hey, we’re the fascists
\nAnd we are now in power, yup.
\nYou had better do as we say
\nOr else we’re going to lock you up.<\/p>\n
We’re just trying to protect you
\nFrom people who are foreign or gay.
\nWe’re the ones you elected
\nAnd you have nothing to say.<\/p>\n
"Any time
\nOr anywhere
\nJust Look over your shoulder
\nGuess who’ll be standing there?" *
