Le Sabot Post-Moderne: California Uber Alles

California Uber Alles

While I think references to "health fascists" are a bit over the top, there is definitely an authoritarian strain in modern liberalism (which is generally cloaked in the language of civil rights.) Just as one of the few anti-abortion songs in history was sung by the Sex Pistols, the best song pointing up this authoritarian streak comes from a punk band--the Dead Kennedys.

"California Uber Alles"

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president

Carter power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool neice

Come quitely to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
