Lyrics:

I was booked to play a gig
With cats I didn't know
My reputation preceded me
That's how I got the show
We started with an up tune
A house rocker in C
As I began to walk the line
The singer got pissed at me

Blues Nazis
Givin' me a read hard time
Blues Nazis
Why you handin' me a line?
Cuz I don't play it like they did
In 1949

As the tune went on
I caught more dirty looks
Got the fisheye from the drummer
That cat was really shook
I screamed back at those cats
In a tone that sounded toxic
I said are we fuckin' musicians
Or are we fuckin' jukeboxes?

Blues Nazis
Givin' me a read hard time
Blues Nazis
Why you handin' me a line?
Cuz I don't play it like they did
In 1949

Man that night was long
A real dogged out show
If they ask me to play again
I'm gonna tell 'em "no!"
I don't love them blues nazis at all
And their twisted way of thinkin'
The way those bozos run their gigs
Could make an Amish man go drinkin'

Blues Nazis
Givin' me a read hard time
Blues Nazis
Why you handin' me a line?
Cuz I don't play it like they did
In 1949
