The same folks who wrote that epic rock song about Yanis Varoufakis a while back just wrote a song responding to all of the right-wing nationalist nonsense going on in the world today. It’s epic, and I think folks here will appreciate it. Slightly NSFW language. Contains profanity.
Lyrics with explanation
Remember, Remember
The 9th of November (Kristallnacht, the organized mob attack on Jews in 1938)
Broken glass, fire and plot
I know of no reason
Why our very own treason
Should ever be forgot
Wake up, Deutschland, Sleeping Beauty
Can you hear your Call of Duty?
The world has gone completely nuts
That's why we're back to help, mein Schatz (My Treasure)
Achtung! Germans on the rise
But this time we are f*cking nice
Authoritarian nationalist Dorks
So tough with your torches and pitchforks
You are not the people, you are the past (Wir Sind Das Volk/We Are the People is a slogan from the far-right islamophobic PEGIDA group)
The true Germans come for you, better run fast!
Ten million bicycle helmets in sight
Jack Wolfskin jackets marching through the night
Birkenstocks stomp the ground
Munching Kebab and Müsli, earth-shattering sound (these are all things associated with outdoorsy German hippies except for Kebab, which is a food brought to Germany by largely Muslim immigrants.)
Guten Tag, the true Germans are here
We are Xenophobic's biggest fear
You call for strong leaders, for fences and walls
But being like us takes bigger balls
Cause we are
Deutsch - nice
Deutsch - liberal
Deutsch - compassionate
Deutsch - considerate
Deutsch - reasonable
Deutsch - social
Deutsch - temperate
Deutsch - peaceful
Say it clear, say it loud
We are proud of not being proud
We are here to remind you
That we have once been stupid, too
Maniacs with wicked hair
Ja, ja, ja, we have already been there
Trust our Teutonic expertise
We know where a$$holery leads...
You have an election to vote for the best
But we see it more like an IQ-test
(You failed)
We've learned our lesson so take our advice
Hold together, try to be nice and...
Deutsch - open
Deutsch - multi-cultural
Deutsch - modest
Deutsch - help the weak an poor
Deutsch - neighbours
Deutsch - tolerant
Deutsch - Grundgesetz (The Constitution of the German Federal Republic)
Deutsch - Dosenpfand (Bottle deposits)
Say it clear, say it loud
We are proud of not being proud
Human dignity is unimpeachable
You will learn, if even we were teachable
We are no longer murderous vandals
Be nice - or we'll come for you in socks and sandals
Reserving your sun loungers with our towels (Germans are famous for getting up early and stealing the best spots on beaches by laying their towels down, and THEN going for breakfast)
Vegan sausage in our bowls
"Hey, you d!ckheads
Take a good look at these legal citizens of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland in the year 2016
It's perfectly legal for them to do whatever the f!ck they want to do, you stupid sh!t for brains
And do you want to know why, f!ckface?
Because they're f!cking human beings, like you and everyone else
Have you ever heard of the categorical imperative, asshole?
Read Kant, c!nt
He also was..."
[Chorus]
Deutsch - enlightened
Deutsch - responsible
Deutsch - we cycle
Deutsch - and recycle
Deutsch - Weltmeister (World champions… in Soccer)
Deutsch - forgiving
Deutsch - Weizenbier (wheat beer)
Deutsch - never forget
Deutsch - Fahrvergnügen (The no-speed-limit section of the autobahn)
Deutsch - freedom of speech
Deutsch - European
Deutsch - unity
Deutsch - Fanta
Deutsch - diversity
Deutsch - selfless
Deutsch - we are Germany
[Outro] Not you! We! (Hahaha)
