Punkklassieker du jour: John Wayne Was A Nazi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFjLmqAZ_0o

MDC (Millions of Dead Cops) zou weleens de meest politiek-correcte punkband uit de geschiedenis kunnen zijn. Tegen kapitalisme, tegen racisme, tegen homofobie, tegen fascisme, tegen het arbeidsethos  en vóór dierenrechten, alles gebracht met de subtiliteit van een op hol geslagen bulldozer. Desondanks: het eerste album is in zijn soort een klassieker, met fraaie staaltjes subtiele maatschappijkritiek als deze aanval op hét culturele icoon van conservatief Amerika.

John Wayne was a Nazi

He liked to play SS
He had a picture of Adolph ‘ol boy,
Tucked in his cowboy vest
Sure he would string up your mother
Sure he would torture your pa
Sure he would march you up to the wall
Sure he would hang you by your last ball

He was a Nazi
But not anymore
He was a Nazi
Life evens the score
He was a Nazi
But not anymore
He was a Nazi

John Wayne slaughtered our Indian brothers
Burned their villages and raped their mothers
Now he has given them the white man’s lord
Live by this, or die by the sword

He was a Nazi
But not anymore
He was a Nazi
Life evens the score
He was a Nazi
But not anymore
He was a Nazi

John Wayne killed a lot of gooks in the war
We don’t give a fuck about John anymore
We all heard his tale of blood and gore
Just another pawn for the capitalist whore

He was a Nazi
But not anymore
He was a Nazi
Life evens the score
He was a Nazi
But not anymore
He was a Nazi

John Wayne wore an army uniform
Didn’t like us reds and fags that didn’t conform
Great white hero had so much nerve
Lived much longer than he deserved

You were a Nazi
But not anymore
You were a Nazi
Life evens the score
You were a Nazi
But not anymore
You were a Nazi

Late show Indian or Mexican dies
Klan propaganda legitimized
Hypocrite coward never fought a real fight
When I see John I’m ashamed to be white
Death bed Christian of this you avowed
If God’s alive, you’re roastin’ now
Well John, we ain’t got no regrets
As long as you died a long and painful death

You were a Nazi
But not anymore
You were a Nazi
Death evens the score
You were a Nazi
But not anymore
You were a Nazi
Death evens the score

You’re Dead!
Dead!
Dead!
