lyrics

They were active in the 20s came into power in the 30s
they were more than indifferent to the liberty of others
their billy clubs and their blitzkrieg echo through the rubble

they desecrated the temple they pillaged the nation
bloodied a decade devastated a generation
their madness and sadism echo through the rubble

brownshirts came and went back they came back they came
brownshirts came and went back they came changed their name
back they came

2.
in forest and rice field napalm and agent orange
in hamlets where bounties were paid on Asian ears
where search and destroy echo through the rubble

they're to be found as police in Central America
bound to be around when the landlord calls
their blunt souls and sharp instruments echo through the rubble

brownshirts came and went back they came back they came
brownshirts came and went back they came changed their shirt
back they came

3.
a child is bent by cigarettes pressed to her precious skin
and fierce words that cut deep straight to herself
strangled magnificence echoing through the rubble

slashing daggers reappear inconvenient years
mutated angel suffocating rage
poison love and violence echo through the rubble

brownshirts came and went back they came back they came
brownshirts came and went back they came changed their name

brownshirts came and went back they came back they came
brownshirts came and went back they came changed their shirts
back they came
