Belsen was a gas I heard the other day
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear
Sergeant majors on the march
Wash their bodies in the starch
See them all die one by one
Guess it's dead, guess it's glad
So bad
Belsen was a gas I heard the other day
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear
Be a man
Be a man
Belsen was a gas
Be a man, kill someone, kill yourself
Be a man, be someone, kill someone
Be a man, kill yourself
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear
Sergeant majors on the march
Wash their bodies in the starch
See them all die one by one
Guess it's dead, guess it's glad
So bad
Belsen was a gas I heard the other day
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear
Be a man
Be a man
Belsen was a gas
Be a man, kill someone, kill yourself
Be a man, be someone, kill someone
Be a man, kill yourself

well it now seems to me that youre the one who is "babbling like a cunt." and i never mentioned Mayhem on any of the posts on this song which means you go around looking at what i review. stick to your gay ass posts and quit looking around for mine. and who the fuck are you to tell me what i can and can't say. if i want to post something then i post it. my opinions may be stupid to you but that does not mean i can't post my opinions.
as for Mayhem, it was Euryonumous who ate Dead's brains you jackass. get the facts right before you say dumb shit like that. no one takes Mayhem seriously you know. more people take this sex pistols shit seriously than Mayhem. go ahead ask any skinhead nazi what he/she listens to and i'll bet you they'll say some punk band or something, maybe even the pistols. not too many know about Mayhem.
one last thing, dickbrain, part of what has made Mayhem's story so sought after by metal listeners is the MYSTERY of it all. i'd like you to show me proof that they burned a church. and i don't mean an interview where a band member said he did, i mean actual proof.lots of metal band pretend to worship satan and i'm not saying that Mayhem pretends but there is way too much mystery surrounding their story. that is what makes them so revered in the black metal scene. the sex pistols wore swastikas on stage at their concerts. that's not much of a mystery if you ask me.
hahah youre a fucking bastard and a shit fuck too skinheads are punk enemys if a punk sees a skinhead he beats him so why would a skinhead listen to anti nazi - punk music? sex pistols were the best idiots ever also like my heroes they created a revolution with only one cd and 4 singles and are one of the most representative and influentative bands ever yea maybe some of you like the bethoben bullshit or watever but this is real rock music if you don´t like it then why wasting your time telling us ? we don´t care. Yeah yea we know the name of the web is song meanings its not clled masterofpuppets80´s interpretation of song meanings everyone has their own opinion but the meaning of the song is one its not what you think it isas a pistol and punkrock fan i know that pistols and many others like sarcasm in their songs and that sid vicious´(the composer of this song and also the bassist) girlfriend (nancy spungen( was a jew so he wouldnt make that song insulting jews. and at last that vicious was the best and the coolest idiot ever he was so idiot that he used swasticas to call people´s attentions actual punks dye their hair or have mawhax or devilocks and use old and torn clothes also studs in leather or denim jackets.
It's called "irony," Masterofpuppets. They didn't it to be funny because life is completely absurd. The world is full of disgusting things and yet people go on with day to day ideas and stodgy old England marches on. The Sex Pistols wore swastikas and used such divisive rhetoric to say, "why are you all so boring? We live in a depraved, horrific and also, brilliant world, wake up."
