First, a bit of background...

The movie Romper Stomper, an early Russell Crowe flick where he stars as a skinhead leader who leads his gang to bash Asians and other undesirables. It's actually a great movie but it's about thoroughly horrible people.

The movie had a soundtrack. At one point the skinheads are having a party and this song is played:



If you listen to it, you'll hear a far-right skinhead anthem with nasty, racist, violent lyrics. BUT the tune is pretty good if you're into that sort of thing.

A local Sydney band, The Owen Guns, released their own version two years ago. Same tune, different, much better, much funnier lyrics.



My favourite verse:

"You throw a hissy fit when an athlete takes a knee
Your hero's Ian Stuart, his greatest hit's a tree."

It's funny when you know that Ian Stuart was the frontman of a neo-Nazi punk band who died when his car hit a tree.

Re-reading the first page, I guess the OP was maybe looking for accidentally funny or bad lyrics, so this doesn't count either, but I liked the dark humour when I watched a video of this song performed live in a more menacing way by the 6ft 5 Steve Weber (Peter Stampfel's musical partner in the original Holy Modal Rounders).

Random Violence.

I don’t know you but I’m gonna kill you
Sorry we’re meeting this way
You are a stranger but I’m even stranger
Cos I’m gonna blow you away

[Chorus]
Random violence, that is my name
Moral decay, that’s what I blame
AIn’t got no pity, ain’t got no shame
I’m gonna blow you away

You may be famous and you may be fair
You may be righteous, I really don’t care
You may be lucky but this ain’t your day
Cos I’m gonna blow you away

You may be president, you may be pope
I am psychotic, you haven't a hope
You may be barefoot and pregnant and poor
But I’m gonna blow you away
