Lyrics:

I've never been one for the punch-ups

But look I really hate them nazis

A certain something starts to wind me up

How could I hate them of so violently

When two swords slashing at each other

Only sharpen one another

And in the long run even he's your brudda'

Said even though that kid's a nazi

Even though that kid's a nazi

Always attack those things in someone else,

Reflections that you can't face in yourself,

To make precious fascistic feeling gone

It makes you turn into a bigger one

Bigger...

When two swords slashing at each other

Only sharpen one another

And in the long run even he's your brudda'

Said even though that kid's a nazi

Even though that kid's a nazi

Are you fighting the Front,

Or just fronting a fight

Sometimes it's hard to see the left from the right

Are we angry, are we looking for peace

Or just tryin' to win the war...

...by killing all the enemy off

Just to kill all the enemy off

Kill the enemy off

Kill the enemy off

I've never been one for the punch-ups

But look I really hate them nazis

A certain something starts to wind me up

How could I hate them of so violently

When two swords slashing at each other

Only sharpen one another

And in the long run even he's your brudda'

Even though that kid's a nazi

Even though that kid's a nazi

Said even though that kid's a nazi
