Nazi Punks Fuck Off

Dead Kennedys

Punk ain't no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore 'cause you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head

[Chorus]
Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks, fuck off!
Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks, fuck off!

If you've come to fight, get outta here
You ain't no better than the bouncers
We ain't trying to be police
When you ape the cops it ain't anarchy

[Chorus]

Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls

You still think swastikas look cool
The real Nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth Reich you'll be the first to go

[Chorus]

You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
Unless you think

    This song was written in response to nazi people who suddenly started to show up at their shows... They had misinterpreted California Uber Alles, Holiday In Cambodia, and Kill The Poor..and probably Police Truck too haha..fucken fascists

    This song is a statement of individuality, because it teaches the following ideas: Think for yourself; Don't change yourself to fit into crowds; It really isn't cool, it's pointless and looks really stupid to think you are one thing and actually be another; If you think you are big and tough around your small circle of friends, there are always others who are bigger and tougher than you. If your going to do something or be someone, then do it properly and be what you want to be, not what people around you are.

    i dont think there is anything wrong with mohawks or studded belts or whatever as long as youre doing it for yourself, not anyone else. people seem to think if they wear certain things it means they're "punk" this is an AMAZING song, anyway

    "Punk ain't no religious cult Punk means thinking for yourself You ain't hardcore 'cos you spike your hair When a jock still lives inside your head " It's also a reference to how people "join" a subculture without having any genuine interest in it or not at all knowing what it stands for. Just look at all those shitty pop-punk bands and their following for a start.

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
