MacSlon & The O'Hooligans - You're Not My Friends

Lyrics:

I switch on my TV screen,
Europe's voting, what a scene,
Populists and racists, fascists in between.
The ruling parties stand and drone,
Saying things must change, well-known.
They always say it's time to mend,
But nothing changes in the end.
More sheeps to racists' open arms are drawn,


I hurl my beer at the screen in scorn.




I can't drink enough to puke as much as I'd like.
Are you for real?
We've been here before and it was a blight.
Are you truly for real?

Are you really for real?
Is this your deal?
Is this what you want in the end?
Póg Mo Thóin! You stupid bastards!
You're not my friends!



I can't comprehend at all
How so many can be so appallingly small.
Racists should be simply out of the game!
I’m deeply ashamed of my fellow man's shame.
If any of you cast your vote for the fascist line,
Stay far away, you’re no friend of mine.
My tolerance and understanding are fully spent,
For such boundless stupidity, I’ve zero percent.


No, you’re not to blame for what your parents, grandparents or somebody else have done
But you share the guilt if it happens again, and no one shuns!
No, you’re not to blame for what happened before your birth's mark.
But you share the guilt if it happens again, and hate leaves its dark!

You share the guilt if you let it be trivialized,
You share the guilt if you let it be disguised,
You share the guilt if you let it pass,

That people are scorned for faith, origin, love, or class,
You are guilty if you follow the new Nazi call,
If you trivialize, support, or join them at all!


I can't drink enough to puke as much as I'd like.
Are you for real?
We've been here before and it was a blight.
Are you truly for real?

Are you really for real?
Is this your deal?
Is this what you want in the end?
Póg Mo Thóin! You stupid bastards!
You're not my friends!


Never again should anyone say: I did not know!
Never again should anyone say: I had no choice to show!
Never again should anyone say: What could I have done alone?
No one needs or wants a repeat of 1933-1945's tone!
You have a choice, you can see and hear!
And above all: you can act, and make it clear!
Against forgetting, against closing your eyes,
Against doing nothing while truth dies!



And don't talk to me about politics, not a trick!
This has nothing to do with this shit,
Nothing with left or right,
Nothing with up or down in sight.
It’s about common sense, decency, empathy’s gleam.
People are getting dumber, crueler it seems!
The spiral of violence keeps spinning in dreams!
Are you all so blind, so dumb, so confined?
Fascists are never the answer, never aligned!
They’ve never been, they’re always a part of the plight,
We need a world without them in sight!
And we’ll keep shouting louder, our resolve won’t slack,
We won't retreat, not an inch, not one step back!




Póg Mo Thóin! You stupid bastards!
You're not my friends!

Póg Mo Thóin! You stupid bastards!
You're not my friends!
