Shtil di nacht iz oysgeshternt” (“Silent, the night is full of stars”)

"Still the night and full of starlight,
And the frost burned on the land;
Do you still remernher how I taught you
To hold a revolver in your hand?

A girl. a sheepskin and a beret.
In her hands she holds a gun,
A girl with her face as smooth as velvet
Keeps watch of the enemy’s caravan.

An aim, a shot right on the target,
Her small pistol had reached its mark,
An auto filled high with ammunition
Her shot had stopped it in the dark.

At dawn she crept out of the woodland,
With snowy garlands in her hair.
Encouraged by her little victory
For our future freer heirs."

Woody Guthrie - "All You Fascists"
https://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/All_You_Fascists.htm

"I’m gonna tell you fascists
You may be surprised
The people in this world
Are getting organized
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose"

They Might Be Giants - "The Communists Have The Music"

"I got handed an Ayn Rand sandwich
Straight from a can, it tasted so bland
I asked a lass to pass me a glass
Of Engel's Conditions of the Working Class

Right away they dragged me to the committee
To explain my un-American activity
They're gonna see they made a mistake
If they'd only let me play my mixtape

I'm not partial to the martial
Or the plutocrats in their beaver hats

And the fascists have the outfits

But I don't care for the outfits

What I care about is music

And the communists have the music"

If you haven't heard Jesse Welles yet pull up a chair. We have a modern young Dylan/Guthrie on our hands.

This might just be a masterpiece. Written before a show, performed in a bathroom and spread to the world for $0 in minutes.
