Two Swords Lyrics
I've never been one for the punch-ups
But look I really hate those Nazis
A certain something starts to wind me up
How could I hate them oh so violently
When two swords slashing at each other
Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda'
Said even though the cunt's a Nazi.
Nazi
Always attack those things in someone else,
Reflections that you can't face in yourself,
To make precious fascistic feeling gone
It makes you turn into a bigger one
Bigger...
When two swords slashing at each other
Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda'
Said even though the cunt's a Nazi.
Nazi
Are you fighting the Front,
or just fronting a fight
Sometimes it's hard to see the left from the right
Are we angry, are we looking for peace
Or just tryin' to win the war...
...by killing all the enemy off
Just to kill all the enemy off
Kill the enemy off
Kill the enemy off
I've never been one for the punch-ups
But look I really hate those Nazis
A certain something starts to wind me up
How could I hate them oh so violently
When two swords slashing at each other
Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda'
said even though the cunt's a Nazi.

Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda'
Said even though the cunt's a Nazi.

Reflections that you can't face in yourself,
To make precious fascistic feeling gone
It makes you turn into a bigger one

Only sharpen one another
And in the long run even he's your brudda'

Great song upholding the ideals of non-violence. Second only to The Specials, The Beat was a major player in bringing ska back to the people in the remnants of the British Empire. The Beat was also the more "New Wave" 2 Tone Ska band and this song reflects that. The drums playing of Everett Morton points in a more New Wave direction. Great song and a perfect example of the popular sound of the UK's vibrant punk movement.
Non violence isn't the idea here, it's saying the guys who hate nazis are probably nazis themselves, by fighting them we become no better than they are, maybe worse.
@Rozhestvensky I disagree ... no where in the song does it imply that they are a Nazi for hating Nazis.
