This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You're the love of my life, but it cuts like a knife
And I feel that I'm being misled
See, I'm a little concerned, for I recently learned
Of the swastika tattoo on your head
And it makes you smile when you hear "sieg heil"
You love the smell of a burning cross in the yard
You do goose step salutes in your doc marten boots
And you quoted Mein Kampf in our fifth anniversary card
I think you're a Nazi, baby
Are you a Nazi?
You might be a Nazi, baby
You keep extensive files on the Nuremberg trials
And you watch them whenever they're airing
I guess I should have known when you bought a new bone
For your puppies name Goebbels and Goering
You showed up late to our very first date
I said 'how are you?' and you said 'white power'
Call me paranoid, but I'm not overjoyed
When you ask me if I want to shower
I think you're a Nazi
Don't be lyin', baby
Tell me if you're a Nazi
Are you anti-zion, maybe
Your every dress is monogrammed 'ss'
You hold an Aryan picnic and bash
It makes me irate when you say I look great
If I wear a little tiny mustache
Your social politics say that races don't mix
You call it pure blood pollution
Whenever I'm sad, you say "it's not so bad
For every problem, there's a final solution"
I think you're a Nazi
Give me an answer, baby
Are you a Nazi?
You drive a fucking panzer, baby
They say that love is blind, so how could I have guessed
But then again, I met you at the Wagnerfest
I know you're a Nazi
So I must be leavin'
I know you're a Nazi
Sure as my name is Stephen,
Lynch-berg-stein!
And I feel that I'm being misled
See, I'm a little concerned, for I recently learned
Of the swastika tattoo on your head
And it makes you smile when you hear "sieg heil"
You love the smell of a burning cross in the yard
You do goose step salutes in your doc marten boots
And you quoted Mein Kampf in our fifth anniversary card
I think you're a Nazi, baby
Are you a Nazi?
You might be a Nazi, baby
You keep extensive files on the Nuremberg trials
And you watch them whenever they're airing
I guess I should have known when you bought a new bone
For your puppies name Goebbels and Goering
You showed up late to our very first date
I said 'how are you?' and you said 'white power'
Call me paranoid, but I'm not overjoyed
When you ask me if I want to shower
I think you're a Nazi
Don't be lyin', baby
Tell me if you're a Nazi
Are you anti-zion, maybe
Your every dress is monogrammed 'ss'
You hold an Aryan picnic and bash
It makes me irate when you say I look great
If I wear a little tiny mustache
Your social politics say that races don't mix
You call it pure blood pollution
Whenever I'm sad, you say "it's not so bad
For every problem, there's a final solution"
I think you're a Nazi
Give me an answer, baby
Are you a Nazi?
You drive a fucking panzer, baby
They say that love is blind, so how could I have guessed
But then again, I met you at the Wagnerfest
I know you're a Nazi
So I must be leavin'
I know you're a Nazi
Sure as my name is Stephen,
Lynch-berg-stein!
