Paul, Alex's son, talked about an idea for a tee shirt while they were visiting friends in Catalonia in the summer of 2004:
USA = Fascism + 1
So basically Alex stole his own son's idea for this song. Despicable.
Lyrics
The donkey and the elephant only like playing with themselves
drawing lines and making rules so no one else can play
and then say it's a game for all
and then say it's a game for all
they claim it's a game for all
they tell us it's freedom for all
The lesser of two evils is still pretty evil when it's criminal to vote your conscience
when the same corporate rich are funding both sides
when you've got the God-given right to choose between the two
you've got Fascism + 1
One's gotta win, one's gotta lose
either way most everybody loses
it's black and white in their eyes
in this world of many colors
they're writing our history
they're writing our history
they're rewriting our history
they're writing us out of our own history
It's warmonger A or warmonger B
it's about their fight for the slice in the middle
it's about elitist collusion to keep us in check
but it's sure not about democracy
it's about Fascism + 1
You may think you see a donkey
or you may think you see an elephant
you may even think one's better than the other
but the same dog with a different collar
is still the same old dog
is still the same old dog
it's still the same old dog
they're both the very same dog
And they're lying drunk in public together
lapping up power from the same corporate well
they'll even cry foul if you choose a third
saying you've cheated one and helped the other
it's their Fascism + 1
