Five Times August - Anti-Fascist Blues Lyrics

Everybody head down
Pick yourself a pronoun
Join the resistance
On government assistance
Stop all the hate
As you advocate violence
Block and suppress
Anyone you want silenced
Take what you want
'Cause what you want
Is what you're owed
Call everyone a fascist
'Til they're all controlled

Preach in the street
For the communist party
Pro choice, no voice
Never mind the heart beat
Dictate, race bait
Agitate, mandate
Dress in drag and burn the flag
Then run to find a safe space
Tell us how you feel
Until we give you what you need
Call everyone oppressive
'Til they're on their knees

Impeach free speech
Better dye your hair pink
TV, phone screen
It's better if you don't think
Debt to university
Aegregate diversity
Give yourself a ribbon
Every time you face adversity
Find another problem
Tell yourself you're not alone
Tell everyone who's straight
That they're all transphobe

Defund police
No guns, oh please
Fight for your right
To start a war
Until there's no peace
Take it down, tear it up
It's in the name of progress
Make the rule you never lose
'Til everything is lawless
Tell me what to think
And how to feel and where to go
'Cause everyone's a fascist
'Til they're all controlled

Find your path in life
But make it socio or psycho
Nonsense, wokeness
You're gonna lose your mind though
Bigotry, insanity
An ally, or an enemy
There's too much masculinity
So wave goodbye to family
Represent the one percent
Who want to overthrow
'Til everybody lives
In an autonomous zone

Act tough, steal stuff
Smash another window
Loot store, get more
Grab another brick, throw
She/Her/He/Him
They/Them/Xe/Xem
Women are the men now
And the men are now the women
Make yourself a slave
Until you feel like you are free
Dig yourself a grave
For The American Dream
