Shadow of the Swastika Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You who think the hue of your hide means you are to blame
And your father's misdeeds are his son's to carry in shame

And kiss my Scandinavian ass
[Chorus]
Pages of the past
How long will they last?
A lie lost in the legacy of fools left us this parody unsurpassed
Pages of the past
How long will they last?
The shadow of the swastika by fools' fears now for far too long has been cast
[Verse 2]
You who think the hue of your hide means you get to blame
The black for your own faults and so bring humanity shame
Make sure you count me out of the ranks of your inbred morons
With your sewer gas and kiss my Scandinavian ass
[Chorus]

The shadow of the swastika by fools' fears now for far too long has been cast
[Instrumental Bridge]

The shadow of the swastika by fools' fears now for far too long has been cast
