Who makes the nazis?
Who makes the nazis?
I'll tell ya who makes the nazis

All the Os
Wino
Spermo
29 year old
Arse-licking hate old

Who makes the Nazis?
Bad Tele-V

Who makes the Nazis?
Balding smug faggots
Intellectual half-wits
All the Os

Who makes the Nazis?
The Nazis are long horn
Long horn breed
Long horn--Long horn breed
Long horns--Long horn breed

Who makes the Nazis?
Remember when I used to follow you home from school babe?
Before I got picked up for paedophelia

Who makes the Nazis?
Motels like three split-level mirages
Who makes the Nazis?
Buffalo lips on toast, smiling
Who makes the Nazis?
I put a finger on the weird.
This was real Irish know.
Joe was then good as gold
And told of the rapists in the Spa Motel.
The real mould.

Who makes the Nazis?
Benny's cob-web eyes!
Who makes the Nazis?
Bad-bias TV
Arena badges
BBC, George Orwell, Burmese police
Who Makes the Nazis?

Long horn
Long horn breed
Long horns
Long horn breed

Who makes the Nazis?
(Rest rooms)
Black burnt flesh
Hark hark
Crack unit species
Who makes the Nazis?
(All the O's cross country)
Who makes the Nazis?
[Man] super shag-artists

Who makes the Nazis?
Bad-bias Tele-V
You mind tellin me?
Here's a word from Bobby

When you're out of rocks, just give them real soul
Hates not your enemy, love's your enemy
Murder all bush monkeys

Long horn, Long horn breed
Who makes the Nazis?
Who makes the Nazis?
Bad-bias TV
Real mould
Real Irish know, Joe.
Who makes the Nazis?
Intellectual half-wits

Long horn
Long horn breed
Long horn
Long horn breed
Long horn
Long horn breed





Who makes the Nazis?

Overall Meaning

The Fall's song "Who Makes the Nazis?" is a cryptic and provocative take on the origins of fascism and hate. The singer, Mark E. Smith, asks repeatedly who is responsible for creating Nazis, implying that the answer is actually quite complex and multifaceted. It is not only the obvious figures like Hitler and his inner circle, but also a broad range of individuals and institutions that enable the spread of fascist ideologies.


The song mentions several specific examples, including Bad Tele-V (presumably a reference to low-quality television programming promoting nationalist sentiments), intellectual half-wits (perhaps implying that pseudo-intellectualism can lead to dangerous oversimplifications), and all the Os, which may refer to wealthy elites or influential individuals with power and authority. The song also makes several obscure references, such as to motels and Joe, which are difficult to decipher but could be interpreted as symbols of societal decay and moral corruption.


Overall, "Who Makes the Nazis?" is a provocative and unsettling examination of the roots of Nazi ideology, and a call to be mindful of the everyday attitudes and practices that can unwittingly help to perpetuate hatred and intolerance.
