Figured out what was so familiar with these right-wing "punks". . . .

Dead Kennedys Nazi Punks Fuck Off lyrics

Punk ain't no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore cos you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head

Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks?Fuck Off!

Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks?Fuck Off!

If you've come to fight, get outa here
You ain't no better than the bouncers
We ain't trying to be police
When you are the cops it ain't anarchy

Repeat chorus

Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls

You still think swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
Teachers, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go

Repeat chorus

You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
Unless you think?

(Guitar solo to you,  Michael Pugliese . . . !)
