Woody Guthrie’s You Fascists Bound to Lose is a true classic.
It later inspired a Billy Bragg song, which someone has presented on Youtube with an apparently pro Communist video.
Not sure if it’s the official video, or a fan video.
Either way, the greatest tribute we could all pay Woody Guthrie is to write our own red-baiting anti-Communist parodies.
So, here’s mine!
I’m gonna tell all you Marxists
You may be surprised
The people of this country
Are your foes for life!
You’re bound to lose
You Marxists bound to lose
Race baiting cannot save you
This one thing we know
Your Jew hatred and Communism
Means you’ve got to go
You’re bound to lose
You Marxists bound to lose.
All of you Marxists bound to lose:
I said, all you Marxists bound to lose:
Get out! You Marxists bound to lose:
You’re bound to lose! You Marxists:
Bound to lose!
People of every color
We must reunite
Meet at the Berlin Wall
Where a million Marxists died
You’re bound to lose
You Marxists bound to lose!
I’m going to this battle
Cos I’m a big gun nut
We’ll break the neck of Marxism
And rally round as one
You’re bound to lose
You Marxists bound to lose!
All of you Marxists bound to lose:
You Commies bound to lose:
Antisemites bound to lose:
You’re bound to lose! You Marxists:
Bound to lose!
