The Lyrics
Gimme that old-time militia
Gimme that hard-line militia
Gimme that dolt-white militia
A hood on top o’ me
Rid the ’hood of the Hebrew children
Egypt stood ’gainst the Hebrew children
Nix for good are the Hebrew children
Nor gooks, blacks, ’backs for me
We must bring ourselves from bondage
Big gov. sells us into bondage
We must form ourselves a Bundage
Ist gut genug für mich.
Because soon world will be on fire
The flames loom, we must zoom up higher
First let’s doom all those who conspire
To hood our liberty.
Gimme that hard-line militia
Gimme that dolt-white militia
A hood on top o’ me
Rid the ’hood of the Hebrew children
Egypt stood ’gainst the Hebrew children
Nix for good are the Hebrew children
Nor gooks, blacks, ’backs for me
We must bring ourselves from bondage
Big gov. sells us into bondage
We must form ourselves a Bundage
Ist gut genug für mich.
Because soon world will be on fire
The flames loom, we must zoom up higher
First let’s doom all those who conspire
To hood our liberty.

Always wanted to do something with this tune. Just heard that the father of a soldier killed in Iraq has been ordered to pay the Phelps Klan $16,000 court costs because he sued them for disrupting his son's funeral. A Kansas City radio station has been ordered by the FCC to carry some hate monger's campaign ads, screaming about Jews and "mud-people". I think the government funds most of these clowns to discredit legitimate dissent.
This tune always yields good results...I did "Gimme That Obama Health Care" a few months back. Up to usual JAB standards, addressing a most unholy terror. :D
Interesting take and commentary in the comments.
Patrick: Phelps is a cancer that can't be excised. I once started "Phelps" for "Help." Maybe I'll finish it.
OMR: Thanks.
OMR: Thanks.
Face it, when the Michigan Militia thinks you've gone too far, you're perfect fodder... not for cannons, but for a John Barry parody. Five-HUT!
The feds once put a group of these "supremicists" on trial (in Arkansas!) for "plotting to overthrow the government". The jury acquitted them, saying that "If Hitler and Hirohito couldn't do it, did the government really think this bunch of clowns had a chance?" But, on a serious note, does the government ever wonder why so many people so violently oppose them? If the feds stuck strictly to their few, specifically enumerated Constitutional duties, and otherwise left people free, I don't think you would see so many of these hate groups and bomb plotters.
A rapture-ous levity-ation at (ver)Mach(t) 5.55 that won't be "left behind" in my rankings.
