‘Fascism '16’ is a reworking of a track from Sparro’s earlier EP Quantum Physical, Vol. 1. It draws parallels between the fascism of earlier decades and the current political climate.
[Intro]
Yo
(If you think the present system of things can really see you through, let it idle for our new and virile faith of fascism. I come to you with a new and revolutionary conception: a politics of economics and of life itself)
[Verse 1]
Do what I say, don’t do what I do
I know what you do because I’m watching you
Don’t you question and don’t you doubt it
Don’t even think about thinking about it
[Pre-Chorus]
God is my witness, life is a business
And busy, busy bees get honey for legitness
You’re a machine in which a life has been invested
Now do what you’re told
Before you get yourself arrested
[Chorus]
They won't let me be, yeah
They won't let me be, hey
They won't let me be
They won't let me, won't let me be, won't let me be
[Verse 2]
You see these borders and you see these lines
You keep these orders or you pay these fines
Now at the hand of gorillas and swine
You keep on digging down in their mine
[Pre-Chorus]
God is my witness, life is a business
And busy, busy bees get honey for legitness
You’re a machine in which a life has been invested
Now do what you’re told
Before you get yourself arrested
[Chorus]
They won't let me be, yeah
They won't let me be, hey
They won't let me be
They won't let me, won't let me be, won't let me be
[Bridge]
I just want to do what I want to do
Don’t you want to do what you want to too
I just came to say what I came to say
Put that shit on lock and throw the keys away
I just want to do what I want to do
Don’t you want to do what you want to too
I just came to say what I came to say
Put that shit on lock and throw the keys away
[Chorus]
They won't let me be, yeah
They won't let me be
They won't let me be
They won't let me, won't let me be, won't let me be
Won't let me be, hey
They won't let me be
They won't let me be
They won't let me, won't let me be, won't let me be, oh
(Fascism)
Oh, oh
(Fascism)
Oh, oh, hey
(There has never been a conspiracy in this country)
