I always took “Youth Against Fascism” to be somewhat tongue in cheek, though obviously sincere in spirit. And what president were they referencing with these words: “Yeah the president sucks / He’s a war pig fuck / His shit is out of luck”?

Old stuff too — I keep hearing the Doors’ “The End” in the last song, and I think it’s track #3 that has a pretty direct homage to the Velvets’ “Sunday Morning.”
