Story behind the song
NOTES ON "SHOOT THE FASCIST": A "Beat on the Brat"-ish sort of song, about fighting Nazis past and present. But (as I mentioned) there's a plot twist near the end that shifts the meaning. (By the way, someone thinks I made a mistake
singing, "Now they're trying to ban the Argentino Tango/Hey, they just shot Theo Van Gogh." Shouldn't that be the Argentina Tango?, he asks. The answer is no. I was playing off the title of the famous Broadway musical "Tango Argentino," but
apparently some aren't catching the reference.)
Lyrics
SHOOT THE FASCIST
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio
Copyright 2010
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
A tumor on the human race
Shoot the fascist in the face
Gestapo knocks and says it's only routine
Then they put you on a train to the gas machine
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
White sheets show up at the break of dawn
Trying to burn a cross on my front lawn
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
They have the nerve to outlaw [pause] sacrilege
The Third Reich is their lineage
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
Now they're trying to ban the Argentino tango
Hey, they just murdered Theo Van Gogh
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
Now someone's thinking I'm a fascist, too
They're tracking me down just like I did you
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
A tumor on the human race
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
A tumor on the human race
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
Shoot the fascist in the face
