Resistance Songs

Partisans songs and “listen folks” tunes came along with wars, riots and protests, accompanied people in resisting occupation. The Brits chanted “Hitler’s one ball”, the Polish created series of “axe, hoe” “songs for Nazi occupants.

Big Band and “decadent” swing rocked:

“Ja we are the supermen (super duper supermen)
Is this Nazi land so good
Would you leave it if you could
Ja this Nazi land is good
We would leave it if we could.” (“Der Fuehrer’s face”)

Throughout history of wars, we have seen our soldiers reaching for freedom for all of us and we the people will never be able to thank them enough for their service. Today, instead of recognition and a meaningful action to ensure their well-being our Veterans receive homelessness and despicable treatment. Even when fighting for survival, they are our teachers of resistance and our leaders. As long as our homeless Veterans are singing Marine Corps fight song, we have no right to be led by cowardice, private interest and treason. We have a duty to take care for our heroes and a duty to never forget the debt we owe them. Don’t you dare fall when they are standing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyI5V5EA5qs?

VA Secretary McDonald and his “Veteran Homelessness Expert” Vince Kane can’t even imagine how many patriots can’t have “Merry Christmas” while our Heroes are suffering, and they probably choose not to hear a very popular resistance song that America is humming this Homeless Veteran Season:

Hit The Road Mac

(Hit the road Mac and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Mac and don’t you come back no more.)
What you say?

Woah Veteran, oh Veteran, don’t treat me so mean,
You’re the meanest old soldier that I’ve ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I’d have to pack my Vince and go. (That’s right)

(Hit the road Mac and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Mac and don’t you come back no more.)
What you say?
(Hit the road Mac and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)

Now Veteran, listen Veteran, don’t ya treat me this-a way
Cause I’ll be back in Special Farces some day.
(Don’t care if you do ’cause it’s understood)
(you are Mr. Do nothng’, you just ain’t no good.)
Well, I guess if you say so
I’d have to pack my Vince and go. (That’s right!)

(Hit the road Mac and don’t you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.)
(Hit the road Mack and don’t you come back no more.)
