I appreciate people taking the lyrics of popular songs and altering them to effectively and critically address the current situation. California Uber Alles by the punk band, The Dead Kennedys, is a song that negatively depicts Jerry Brown and essentially calls him a fascist. It is a song with witty lines in which the instrumental section meshes effectively with the lyrics.
When first learning about it, I could not think of a more outrageous name for a band than The Dead Kennedys. Ironically, we now have a live Kennedy who appears to be well on his way to causing unnecessary deaths.
Below is my attempt at a new set of lyrics for this song, with some original words unchanged, featuring the increasingly lovable free speech “advocate” former California resident Elon Musk as a replacement for Jerry Brown.
I am your leader Elon Musk
With a maga hat atop my brain
Each day I will cause more pain
People power will soon go ‘way
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will worship me in school
You will thank me every day
X Tesla Über Alles
Space X Doge Über Alles
Über Alles Tesla X
Über Alles Doge Space X
My techies will control you
Hundred percent you will obey
You will bend for my master race
And always wear a happy face
Close your eyes, can’t happen here
AI in control is near
The Nazis won’t come back, you say
Accept them or you will pay
Accept them and my big play
X Tesla Über Alles
Space X Doge Über Alles
Über Alles Tesla X
Über Alles Doge Space X
Now it is 2025
Knock-knock at your front door
It’s the ICE thugs and other boars
Down on your knees forevermore
Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes, here’s a pretty flower
Die on organic poison gas
Serpent’s egg already hatched
You vermin will die at dusk
When you mess with your Fuhrer Musk
When you mess with your Fuhrer Musk
Elon Musk Über Alles
Space X Doge Über Alles
Über Alles Tesla X
Über Alles Elon Musk
