California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys...

Linky

"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
Your kids will meditate in school!

[Chorus:]
California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
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
Mellow out or you will pay!

[Chorus]

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

Come quietly 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 croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

[Chorus]

Wow, what a kick-ass song...

I never heard it before... but the look at the lyrics... go tme thinking...

Great DK song, one their best. This song reminds me alot of Arnold's rise to power. eerie, hopefully no foreshadowing of the future here

Jello Biafra, the main singer, is WAY left, socialist all the way. He does a lot of spoken word stuff now I think.

Love the (old) Kennedys, check out the lyrics to "Saturday Night Holocaust", they are also hideously poignant.

If you're into it the DKs, it'll be worth investigating some of JEllo's other output, with bands like NoMeansNo, The Melvins and Mojo Nixon...

Im not realy 'into' the DK's...

But im into good music... post a link here...

I like the anolgoy to our Govanator... And Jerry Brown is Californias Attourny Gerneral now... thats cool....

Now go read the lyrics to "Holiday in Cambodia". That one will blow your mind too.

Holy Moses on a smart bomb, I didn't know that Jello Biafra did a project with Al Jourgenson of Ministry fame. I knew he wrote the song Biotech is Godzilla for Sepultura.
