I know that it is a cover song. It’s cutesy and has a few clever lines, like the reference to Trump flying on Epstein’s jet and Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy being out of touch. I am sussed out by the line which says a big war makes Marxists and Fascists hold hands. It seems very horseshoe theory.
Idk I often think Wells is trying to play off mainstream conceptions of things. My interpretation based on the other lyrics is that what everyday people believe to be a “Marxist” or a “Fascist” won’t actually matter when “the war comes”. His songs are populist folk songs, either he’s invoking these labels because he misunderstands them, which could be true, or because he knows most people misunderstands them.
The amount of people who call themselves Marxists who don’t understand Marxism is high, same with people who call others Marxists. Liberals couldn’t spot fascism or a Fascist if their life depended on it. The labels are broadly meaningless to people, like the other labels in the song. So, when the war comes, those broadly meaningless labels wont matter.
I’m starting to wonder if the man and women know each other? Also that song is Red by Jessy Wells, but that’s definitely not Jessy Wells playing it.

that’s just my interpretation though.
