"Swastika Eyes" (1999)
  
"Kill All Hippies" (2000)

"Swastika Eyes" is a 1999 single by the band Primal Scream from their then-upcoming sixth album XTRMNTR. Different mixes of the song form the fourth and tenth tracks of the album.

The attention-grabbing title is an example of the band's confrontational style in this period; the next single from the album was titled "Kill All Hippies". The band claimed that the song was an attack on corporations and governments.

Reviewing a live show from the XTRMNTR tour, Guardian critic Dave Simpson compared the song to the work of D.A.F.
