After the release of the Dead Kennedy’s first album Neo-Nazi punks started to come to their shows because of their satirical songs that had gained popularity, such as Kill The Poor. The band disliked the hateful subculture and lead singer Jello Biafra wrote this song in response.
The 7" of the song...
[Intro: Spoken]
"Fuck Off," overproduced by Martin Hannett, take four
(Two, three, four!)
[Verse 1]
Punk ain't no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore when you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head
[Chorus]
Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks: fuck off!
Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks: fuck off!
[Verse 2]
If you've come to fight, get outta here
You ain't no better than the bouncers
We ain't trying to be police
If you ape the cops, it ain't anarchy
[Chorus]
Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks: fuck off!
Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks: fuck off!
[Bridge]
Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls
[Verse 3]
You still think swastikas look cool
The real Nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen, and cops
In a real Fourth Reich, you'll be the first to go
[Chorus]
Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks: fuck off!
Nazi punks, Nazi punks, Nazi punks: fuck off!
[Outro]
You'll be the first to go, you'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go unless you think!
