Reply #40: Short, pure, 80s punk [View All]

[Nevernose]

For pure sounds I like "Jesus Was a Communist," though they have other lyrically better songs, like "New Aryans:"

Be proud that you're a white amerikan
Blond hair, bule eyes - a fine new aryan?
Supremacy's the white man's burden?

A final solution for all new aryans...
Death to the nazis and the ku klux klan!
Anarchy in the fatherland!

Anarchy for all new aryans
No master race is gonna rule my land!

New order?
No order!
Disorder! ...Now!


and the title track, "Regan Youth:"

You are the sons of Reagan ...Heil!
You're gonna kill some pagans ...Heil!
The Right's your sacred mission
You'll start an inquisition
You're gonna purge the heathen kind?

You are Reagan Youth! ...Heil! Heil! Heil!
Reagan Youth ...Seig Heil!

You are the sons of Reagan ...Heil!
You are the godforsaken ...Heil!
The right is your religion
You watch television
It programs your programmed minds

You are the sons of Reagan ...Heil!
You are the unawakened ...Heil!
You wnat another war
Forward to El Salvador!
Die to kill a communist?

You are Reagan Youth! ...Heil! Heil! Heil!
Reagan Youth! ...Seig Heil!

Don't be fooled!

Okay, not much in the way of lyrics, but you gotta give 'em credit for style and intent. And I don't think it's an exagerration to say that they are one of the biggest punk bands to come out of the 80s, influencing everyone after.
