“Youth Against Fascism” is a straightforward punk anthem written by Thurston Moore and much less subtle than most of SY’s politically-oriented songs.
The song is an attack on various forms of fascism (or crypto-fascism) that were happening in America at that time, from president Bush’s warmongering...
[Verse 1]
Another can of worms
Another stomach turns
Yeah, your ghetto burns
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 2]
You got a stupid man
You got a Ku Klux Klan
Your fucking battle plan
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 3]
A sieg heilin' squirt
You're an impotent jerk
Yeah, a fascist twerp
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 4]
Black robe and swill
I believe Anita Hill
Judge'll rot in hell
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 5]
Yeah, a cross on fire
By a Christian liar
A black attack on fire
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 6]
Yeah, the president sucks
He's a war pig fuck
His shit is out of luck
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 7]
Another Nazi attack
A skinhead is cracked
My blood is black
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 8]
We're banging pots and pans
To make you understand
We gonna bury you, man
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
[Verse 8]
I'm a human wreck
A redneck in check
I killed the teacher's pet
[Chorus]
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate

Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song) was produced by Sonic Youth & Butch Vig.

The December 1992 issue of Guitar Player suggests that both Sonic Youth guitarists used GGDDD#D# on the album, but live Thurston uses ACCGG#C, and Lee uses AAEEAA, and it is suspected that these were actually the tunings used on the record. It is unknown what tuning Ian McKaye uses.
