Anti Fascist Anthems

[No pasarán]

To start this off, rather than flood it with loads of my own choices I'm gonna start off with just one. What I'm lookin to see is proper out right anti fascist anthems.. not songs that have a vague connection OK? But the genre doesn't matter, just the subject. You can include the lyrics too if you want but try to make the text a litttle smaller so they don't clog up the page.

England, 1936/ The grip of the Sabbath day/ In London town, the only sound/ Is a whisper in an alleyway/ Men put on their gloves and boots/ Have a smoke before they go/ From the west there is a warning of/ A wind about to blow

Like Caesar marching to the East/ Marches Mosley with his men/ Dressed in their clothes of deepest black/ Like a gathering hurricane/ This is the British Union/ With its flag of black and red/ A flag that casts a shadow in/ Berlin and in Madrid

Listen to the sound of marching feet/ And the voices of the ghosts of Cable Street/ Fists and stones and batons and the gun/ With courage we shall beat those blackshirts down

So mile by mile they come on down/ To a place called Cable Street/ And other men are waiting there/ Preparations are complete/ Mosley comes so close/ They now can see his outstretched arm/ A hand raised up that way/ Never took the future in its palm

Listen to the sound of marching feet/ And the voices of the ghosts of Cable Street/ Fists and stones and batons and the gun/ With courage we shall beat those blackshirts down

The battle broke as the fists and the batons fell/ Through the barricades came the sound of the wounded yells/ Jack Spot burst through with a chair leg made of lead/ Brought down a crashing blow on Mosley's head

And so we learn from history generations have to fight/ And those who crave for mastery/ Must be faced down on sight/And if that means by words, by fists, by stones or by the gun/ Remember those who stood up for/ Their daughters and their sons

Listen to the sound of marching feet/ And the voices of the ghosts of Cable Street/ Fists and stones and batons and the gun/ With courage we shall beat those blackshirts down

Listen to the sound of marching feet/ And the voices of the ghosts of Cable Street/ Fists and stones and batons and the gun/ With courage we shall beat those blackshirts down

stupid revleft won't let me post a link but youtube angelic upstarts anti-nazi
one of the best anti-fascist songs ever


Why are you asking?
Do you want to know?
Understand the meaning
A lot to know
If the answers hurt your brain
My questions feed the pain

Do you want to hurt me
For the words I say?
Don't it make you find them to play
When they call the Jew
And my band will come play

Anti-Nazi is what I am
That's the way I stay
Till I Die

A Pakistani waiter
An orthodox Jew
A homosexual I couldn't be you
A Nigerian doctor
A nurse from Taiwan
My dad's a Muslim cleric I couldn't be you

Stand together, all with me
Fight the Nazis, we believe

Till I Die

I don't like song about violence or fascists.
I do like "England belongs to me" by the Cockney Rejects because those 6ft4,blond haired,blue eyed,waiting for SS enlistment forms types claim it as theirs when it's not, just like England isn't theirs either.

Ten years before I saw lhe light of morning/A comradeship of heroes was laid/From every corner of the world came sailing/The Fifteenth Inlernational Brigade.

They came to stand beside the Spanish people/To try and stem the rising Fascist tide/
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy/Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.

Even the olives were bleeding/As the battle for Madrid it thundered on/Truth and love against the force af evil/Brotherhood against the Fascist clan.

Vive La Quince Brigada!/"No Paseran" the pledge that made them fight.
"Adelante" was the cry around the hillside/Let us all remember them tonight.

Bob Hillard was a Church of Ireland pastor/From Killarney across the Pyrenees he came.
From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother/Side by side they fought and died in Spain.

Tommy Woods, aged seventeen, died in Cordoba/With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun/From Dublin to the Villa del Rio/Where he fought and died beneath the Spanish sun.

Vive La Quince Brigada!/"No Paseran" the pledge that made them fight.
"Adelante" was the cry around the hillside/Let us all remember them tonight.

Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco/Joined Hitler and Mussolini too/Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers/Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew.

The word came from Maynooth: 'Support the Fascists.'/The men of cloth failed yet again/
When the bishops blessed the blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire/As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.

Vive La Quince Brigada!/"No Paseran" the pledge that made them fight.
"Adelante" was the cry around the hillside/Let us all remember them tonight.

This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan/Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too/Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar/Though many died I can but name a few.

Danny Doyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly/Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls/Jack Nally, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy/Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill.

Vive La Quince Brigada!/"No Paseran" the pledge that made them fight.
"Adelante" was the cry around the hillside/Let us all remember them tonight.

I always liked The Four Insurgent Generals. The Paul Robeson version is on YouTube.

Anti-Flag - This Machine Kills Facists?
"We've run out of patience,
You've run out of time !
This scene will not fall victim
To your violence or lies.

Your "values" are nothing
But excuses to start fights.
Quit fronting like you're standing
For a moral cause tonight...

United as one, we won't stand aside,
You tried to fuck with our scene... We're gonna fuck your life !!!

This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS FUCKING FASCISTS !
Dead... That's right, DEAD !

You don't have to be a rascist,
To be a nazi, fuck !
Your mindless nationalism
Gives you credentials enough.

You spew your right wing rhetoric,
When we got your attention...
You've mistaken the punk scene
For the Republican Convention !

No more infiltration, no more right wing lies,
You don't belong in our scene... We'll fight you till we die !!!

This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS FUCKING FASCISTS !
Dead... ahhh... DIE !"

Propagandhi also have Anti-Facist songs but they all have a pretty jokey tone xD

'Born to die"

I'm born to die
I'm born to fry
My life in a cage
Show my outrage
I'm misunderstood
I did what I could
I made my try
I was born to die

Goin' home
My mind is blown
I spilled my race
I found my case
I'm shot down on a fence
I'm dead in self defense
I live in a world of hate
With no regret a Nazi state
A racist dream, a world of hate
With no regret a Nazi state

No war
No KKK
No fascist U.S.A.
