We Are Fascists No More
 
A new haircut and a suit
To make them oh so appealing
Oh, oh so electable

It’s magic, they have changed
Hey presto! Direction change!
They say “now we want to help you all"

“We are fascists no more
We are fascists no more
Repeat after me
We are fascists no more”

Polishing their policies
Spin washed image
Not a handbag or an iron fist in sight

Sometime, I start to believe
But then I check myself
These people subscribed
To ideals that brought my country to its knees

“We are fascists no more
We are fascists no more
Repeat after me
We are fascists no more”

Well I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
If you’re moral you should have joined a moral team

Not cut your way in through the belly
Of an aged, bloated shark
Then pretend it were an angel of the sea

I don't believe you
I don't believe you
Although you think that your new style will redeem

To make yourselves appear
To be something you are not
To try to win another vote from me

The odd "I won't believe you", interspersed with the, "I don't believe you" wouldn't do any harm to avoid a bit of repetition...unless that's what you intended.

Changeroo!

^ It's looks more structured now.

It's about those neo nazi Thatcherite rapers of the NHS...stranglers of the Unions...butchers of the working class.

The Tories?

DontRunMeOver 03-20-2007 03:28 PM

Of course not, it's about the Labour party.

Same thing!

DontRunMeOver 03-20-2007 03:31 PM

Haha, I actually found I had to bring in the historical aspect enough to make it obvious that it WAS the Tories, not Labour, that the song's about.

I'm quite pleased with how it gets my gripe across. If David Cameron genuinely is a nice, caring guy who thinks that everybody in the country should be helped by the government... then why the hell did he join the tories in the first place! Unless he hated them and wanted to destroy them from within!!!

IF YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON, WHY WOULD YOU JOIN A PARTY WHERE THEY'RE ALL BASTARDS?!?!?!

The word 'fascist' gave it away. *points at the letter 's'*

The word 'redeem' is begging to be rhymed with 'dream'.

I was singing about Facists.

People who like to Fac.
