FIGHT THEM BACK

We're gonna smash their brains in,
Because they haven't got nothing in them,
We're gonna smash their brains in,
Because they haven't got nothing in them.
 
Some of them say they hate niggers.
And some of them say they beat blacks,
Some of them say they stab blacks,
And some of them say they bash Pakis.
 
Fascists are attacking
Nobody worry about that,
Fascists are attacking,
We will fight them back.
Fascists are attacking,
Then we counter-attack,
Fascists are attacking,
Then we'll drive them back.
 
We're gonna smash their brains in,
Because they haven't got nothing in them,
We're gonna smash their brains in,
Because they haven't got nothing in them.
