Bad Religion – The Kids Are Alt Right

'The Kids Are Alt Right' by Bad Religion

Written by Greg Graffin & Brett Gurewitz

LYRICS
Jackboots cracking on a polished floor
Red hats gathered in the liquor store
Pure hearts race on a crystal night
Everybody, grab a torch to light
Everybody, need somebody, join the party
The kids are Alt-Right today

Now grab your partner and do-si-do
Populism is a sold-out show
Humanity is a nowhere scene
When everybody has an AR-15
Everybody, need somebody, join the party
The kids are Alt-Right today

We love God, we love our women
We love tradition, we love kin
We've got shiny new tools
For ancient impulses that we can't even understand

So if you feel alone and downtrodden
There's an elixir for your ills
Join the Alt-Right post-light endarkenment order
And the rest of those bastards can go to hell

Alternative facts, alternative lies
Alternative names, alternative tribes
Everybody, let's get bloody, join the party
The kids are Alt-Right today

I love Bad Religion! I"m so glad they're still going after all this time. Punk's not dead!

[WhiteRavenCoatL]

Bad Religion music keeps getting more and more relevant over the years, not less. Best band of all-time. IMHO no-one else even comes close.

Too many people will hear this as a celebratory ballad and few Americans nowadays understand the "Crystal Night" (Krisstallnacht) reference. That was the beginning of hilters vision, the flashpoint of 1938.
The sarcasm of "Join the Party", etc, is lost with too many people in our age of misinformation.

You have a very respected platform. Please use it wisely to save us from this fate.

[ganjjabarsmedium]

We needed this fellas, keep fighting!

[Rayna-vw]

So mad Nick Land was catching strays in this one. Anyways, American Carnage reference.

[BenFreund]

The punk heroes we need in this age of endarkenment.

Used to play the 80-85 album in my very first car in high school

The link in the description prevents the song from being shared on facebook.

Never forget christian conservatives burned Beatles albums in the 60s.

[jleaf]

[franklinsthewurst]

i know this song was pretty controversial when it first came out lol. now it's more relevant than ever

[talonanthony]

Where's the line about crashing the "Grindr" app🤣🤣🤣

[mashDpress]

Smart use of possessive pronoun in "we love our women"

[grendelfly]

And the MAGAs in here are BIG mad at a tune that dropped 6 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣

[rickbannan]

It will always fascinate me how braindead dorks think this song is celebratory. Like, have you LISTENED to Bad Religion?!?

[cranklabexplosion-labcentr]

And to think they all laughed the first time they released this…

[Multichick]

The punks are for equality… 🤷‍♀️ I’m surprised by the lack of #AmericanSarcasm these days 🤘 great 🤟 thank you! 🎉

[werojunior]

Por un momento pense que era la de the offspring

[Arturo-pgy]

The comments here fan be summer up in the Bad Religion song "Come Join Us"

[Tommy_Oliver]
