LYRICS
Soon he’ll be a prisoner like his comrades have become
But he’s proud when he tells their story cuz he’s proud of what they’ve done
He’s an anti-fascists from the ranks of the working-class
And when the Nazis come to town he doesn’t let em pass
He’s says “my grandfather fought fascists cuz it’s what he had to do
You can threaten me with prison time but I’ll fight fascists too
Maybe my body be a barricade that won’t let fascist through
In the name of my grandfather, and for me and you,
And for the future we’ll fight fascists too
He says “two years is injustice, but it’s twice as good as four,
A much higher price was paid by those who suffered through the war
And I’ll be damned if my action lets that power rise again
We can bury the hatchet once we bury fascism
Cuz my grandfather fought fascists cuz it’s what he had to do
You can threaten me with prison time but I’ll fight fascists too
Maybe my body be a barricade that won’t let fascist through
In the name of my grandfather, and for me and you,
And for the future we’ll fight fascists too
It takes more than fists to stop oppression for hate’s born in the heart
But alongside the slow shifts, the fist must play its part
For the violent deeds of a fascist few can silence everyone
We can bury the hatchet once we bury fascism
Cuz my grandfather fought fascists cuz it’s what he had to do
You can threaten me with prison time but I’ll fight fascists too
Maybe my body be a barricade that won’t let fascist through
In the name of my grandfather, and for me and you,
And for the future we’ll fight fascists too
