The title track was re-recorded in 1980 for the band's first album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, and the original recording as well as the B-side were later included on the 1987 compilation Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death.\n\nThe lyrics were written by Jello Biafra and John Greenway for their band The Healers. Biafra composed the music in one of his rare attempts at composing on bass. The title is an allusion to the first stanza of the national anthem of Germany, which begins with the words \"Deutschland, Deutschland über alles\" (\"Germany, Germany above everything\").\n\nAfter the end of the Third Reich in 1945, this passage was removed and is no longer sung, as it is sometimes associated with Nazism and the passage in question claimed a large area of land that is no longer contained within the current borders of Germany.\n\nThe lyrics are a pointed, satirical attack on Jerry Brown, the Governor of California from 1975–1983 (and later 2011–2019), and are sung from his perspective, as an imaginary version of Brown outlines a hippie-fascist vision of America. https://tinyurl.com/24y6y8tp", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
