Talkin' American Fascism Blues | Song A Day #4343
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 2020-11-21

If you ever wondered what you’d do
If there was a fascist coup
Well now you know
Because you’re doing it

Total landscaping it’s like a joke
But somethings been 
Rirrevocably broke
And that’s our democracy
If you could ever even call it that

Hah ha ha
That’s so funny

And if you ever wondered who you’d be
In a crisis moment of history
Well now you know
Because you are you

And the coup might not necessarily work
But that doesn’t mean that it’s over
This isn’t the end of anything

It’s so easy to say, oh 2020
But mistakes along the way there were plenty
American fascism is nothing new
As I say happy thanksgiving to you 

Empires rise and empires fall
We learned to run before we learned to crawl
Do you believe in karma
I think I do

So even if this coup is bupkis
What I really want to know is
What are we gonna do 
With all the fascists

Because they’re all still here
All around us
With big guns
And they think it’s a holy war
Which we know how those can go 
If you ever wondered what you’d do
If there was a fascist coup
Well now you know
Because you’re doing it

Total landscaping it’s like a joke
But somethings been 
Rirrevocably broke
And that’s our democracy
If you could ever even call it that

Hah ha ha
That’s so funny

And if you ever wondered who you’d be
In a crisis moment of history
Well now you know
Because you are you

And the coup might not necessarily work
But that doesn’t mean that it’s over
This isn’t the end of anything

It’s so easy to say, oh 2020
But mistakes along the way there were plenty
American fascism is nothing new
As I say happy thanksgiving to you 

Empires rise and empires fall
We learned to run before we learned to crawl
Do you believe in karma
I think I do

So even if this coup is bupkis
What I really want to know is
What are we gonna do 
With all the fascists

Because they’re all still here
All around us
With big guns
And they think it’s a holy war
Which we know how those can go
