Name: Propaganda Boogie
Duration: P00H02M54S
Description: After 12 fairly poppy songs, I thought that a good way to end this album would be with a rabble-rousing rock 'n' roll song. When it came to a subject, I just immediately got an image of World War II propaganda in my head. The song is written from the American perspective, but it seems to be performed by famed Nazi rockabilly band The Vinyl Solution.

lyrics

we've got all our war bonds and american flags on
it's time to join your country on our silver bandwagon
we've gotta weed out the patriots from all the criminals
and there ain't no better way then to use some subliminals

now
with everywhere you bow
another poster 'nother sign a little propaganda now

there isn't any shelter and there is no real escape
you'll always see a billboard in our cluttered landscape
and when i try to drive alone i don't get very far
there's a silhouette of hitler just a-chillin' in my car

now
with every herr and frau
there's another poster 'nother sign a piece of propaganda now

they load me full of symbols and of fighting hawks and doves
they tell me who to hate before they tell me who to love
they let me know the people it's alright to slander
because they know that every goose has its propa gander

now
there's sweat upon my brow
there's another poster 'nother sign a little propaganda now
