And the Nazis used those tanks
To gun down lots of soldiers
In the U.S. Army ranks
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
And a nasty one was he
He'd build tanks for anyone
For the proper fee
Henry Ford spoke to his lackeys
And he said, "isn't this great?
"We'll attack our enemies
"And we'll retaliate!"
Henry Ford was a fascist
And a cunning liar, too
A brown shirt with a swastika
Draped in red, white and blue
Henry Ford spoke to his workers
And he said, "you dare not strike!
"You must be patriotic
"And take on my Third Reich!"
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
And he had not a care
About the dying soldiers
That made him a billionaire
Ford built tanks for the Nazis
And he built many more
To kill off lots of peasants
In Peru and Salvador
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
I heard that when he died
The last words to leave his lips
Was "arbeit macht frei"
The dollar was his icon
On whichever shore
And Henry's only motto
Was "make money and make war"
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
That's all I have to say
I will spit on Henry's rotting grave
Until my dying day
Ford built tanks for the Nazis And the Nazis used those tanks To gun down lots of soldiers In the U.S. Army ranks Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist And a nasty one was he He'd build tanks for anyone For the proper fee Henry Ford spoke to his lackeys And he said, "isn't this great? "We'll attack our enemies "And we'll retaliate!" Henry Ford was a fascist And a cunning liar, too A brown shirt with a swastika Draped in red, white and blue Henry Ford spoke to his workers And he said, "you dare not strike! "You must be patriotic "And take on my Third Reich!" Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist And he had not a care About the dying soldiers That made him a billionaire Ford built tanks for the Nazis And he built many more To kill off lots of peasants In Peru and Salvador Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist I heard that when he died The last words to leave his lips Was "arbeit macht frei" The dollar was his icon On whichever shore And Henry's only motto Was "make money and make war" Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist That's all I have to say I will spit on Henry's rotting grave Until my dying day Explain Request ×
