DON'T LET THEM FASCISTS BEAT YOU DOWN
Tune: DON'T LET YOUR DEAL GO DOWN (traditional)
Words: Stephen L. Suffet © 2001

Oh, we've been here for more than eighty years,
We've heard Paul Robeson sing,
We fought against Franco on the plains of Spain,
And we marched with Martin Luther King.

Chorus:
Oh, don't let them Fascists beat you down,
No, don't let them Fascists beat you down,
I said, don't let them Fascists beat you down,
'Til your last dying breath is gone!

We went face to face with the so-called Master Race,
They heard us a-crossing the Rhine,
And we gave our thanks to those Red Army tanks,
When we saw them a-rolling down the line.

[Repeat chorus.]

Oh, we held back the mob up in Peekskill town,
Way back in nineteen forty-nine,
They came with their bats, and they came with their bricks,
But together we held that line.

[Repeat chorus.]

We fought for better housing, and we fought for better schools,
We fought against that old Jim Crow,
And we fought to bring our men home from Vietnam,
And we told all those Fascists where to go.

[Repeat chorus.]

Now the racists and the Fascists are at it once again,
They're spreading their evil pack of lies,
But if we stand together like we've done before,
Those Fascists are in for one surprise!

[Repeat chorus.]
