We're taught that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace

But batallions of fascists still dream of a master race

The history books they tell of their defeat in forty-five

But they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

They say the prisoner of Spandau was a symbol of defeat

Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists they were beat

So the promise of an aryan world would never materialise

So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

The world is riddled with maggots--the maggots are getting fat

They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureacrats

They're taking over the board rooms and they're fat and full of pride

And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

So if you meet with these historians I'll tell you what to say

Tell them that the Nazis never really went away They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies

And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies

When we all get to hang out this will be a fun campfire song

      I've posted and reposted them several times. Crust punks never stoppedloving chumawamba, they're the band kids that really wanted to hang with that early scene and fucking earned it. Them getting big with a song was a controversy in the diy punk scene at the time until the air was cleared a few years later when they admitted they kinda ended out getting the better deal fro. The record company as a one hit wonder that could have only worked in the 90s when levels were blindly scooping the underground to redo Nirvana and they got sm exploitable deal. I can email any of them at will if anyone wants proof they aren't rich, I've never met em but they're friends of a friend

          Finding out they're Dee from it's Always Sunny's in cannon favorite band in Chardee MacDennia was an interesting character moment thar I'm certain the writers didn't get. I'm a Simpsons dork and listen to Talking Simpsoms which is chapo adjacent and when a later episode had tubthumping in it they chose that song to comment that whoever they praise a British band they tun out to be sketchy and didn't wanna say anything. They do a lot of research generally and could look up.these guys?

      This isn’t even the first time this song (absolute banger) has been posted here.
