Nazi Punks Fuck Off
this is the title of a Dead Kennedys song.

wikipeia say this about this songs cultural infulence.
Cultural effect
The release of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!" allegedly caused an almost abrupt halt to the use of the swastika within punk rock and specifically within the burgeoning west coast hardcore culture. Many punks had their swastika tattoos either removed or turned into less racist images. It may not have necessarily been their original intention, but the Dead Kennedys contributed to purging an anti-Semitic symbol from an (admittedly small) segment of society, a symbol which was adopted by some early punks (notably Sid Vicious, who appears in various photographs and in the film, "The Great Rock n Roll Swindle" wearing a swastika-emblazoned t-shirt) essentially for shock value.

The end of the song goes like this

You still think swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go
Repeat chorus
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
Unless you think
(full lyrics here - http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/deadkennedys/nazipunksfuckoff.html )

My question to DU. What does the lyric UNLESS YOU THINK suggest to you?

2. You'll be swept up in the mindless insect-like hive
unless you think. Then you can make your escape, or at least remain undetected.

One of my all-time favorites.
