Let's take a step backward and take a loot at one of the big founder bands of the Hungarian punk. The only one I heard some songs of.
CPg
No it has nothing to do with CP, I met their name first as the acronym of Cigány Pusztító Gárda (Gypsy Destroying Guard), later I learned that's bullshit and it actually means Coitus Punk group. Now I found out it was Come on Punk group in the beginning, what's more it was written as Comon at first since they knew no English at all.
Anyway. Hungarian punk started out in the very late '70s and matured in the '80s. The bands were anti-regime and rebellious in nature, were persecuted, repressed and banned by the authorities. Many of the musicians got prison sentences for various reasons, like incitement. Some opted with defection and fled to West (at least in one case with forged passport).
Funny thing, while western punk bands were anti-capitalist or anti-conservative, these guys were anti-communist. For this reason there were some entanglement with nationalist skinhead bands - the first handful formed about the same time during the second wave in the beginning of the '80s and basically played punk with a little more fringe lyrics - and sometimes played at the same concerts right after one another. Probably this too is the basis of the confusion with the name of CPg. Also their vocalist later founded a band called 88-as csoport (88 group) - despite what the name would suggest the half of handful of songs I heard has no Nazi contents - maybe this also had some impact on the myth.
Their lyrics were written for their shock value, to be outrageous for the system and it's supporters. Not just CPg's but other bands' songs target the petty bourgeois, the Kleinbürgers, whom philistine character just can't deal with behaviour challenging the norm. These Kleinbürgers could be found in communism too, with their conformity, their fear to risk their petty wealth and relative welfare, the lukewarm and vapid still water, where they feel safe but prevent them to achieve anything, especially not freedom.

Áll egy ifjú (~A young stands)
Originally this is a Russian song, the Во поле берёза стояла, they probably had to learn it in school as part of the Sovietization. The lyrics was altered a little bit...

Lyrics:
A young gaffer stands on the field (gaffer as chief/top worker, a Spitzenarbeiter)
He's just coming from communist Saturday (a couple of Saturdays people had to go to work without getting wage in return)
Dúli, dúli, on the field (Люли, люли, стояла)
Dúli, dúli, on the field
