Too many Nazis walking on the streets. One is too many. But as Woody Guthrie said – you kill fascism with education, reason and music.
Good to see in these times of need that Billy Bragg is back leading the charge. We need someone to stand up to this unpleasant tide of fear, hate and nationalism.
“Saffiyah Smiles”
Shouting something about soil and blood
A woman of colour steps out from the crowd
Does something to make us all proud
Just like Victor Hugo told
“To love is to act” and her act was bold
Bold as love, she made her stand
And with a smile took power from the man
Oh, don’t you know
We come together when Saffiyah smiles
All around the world
People come together when Saffiyah smiles
Cosplay Nazis marching in file
Hitler’s haircut is back in style
Resistance on the streets of Birmingham
And with her smile she disarms the man
Oh, don’t you know
We come together when Saffiyah smiles
All around the world
People come together when Saffiyah smiles
