Dirty Squatters Compilation Vol 2

by Various Artists

/
1.
Male and female, young and old. Thousands locked out in the cold. Thousands of homeless walk the streets, nowhere to go, no food to eat. Can't afford high council rates, long housing lists aren't worth the wait. All we want is a right to squat, free from the threat of eviction. The right to live in derelict houses, free from police restriction. Loads of empty houses all over town, all you do is knock them down. You don't think about people sleeping in a ditch, you only bother about the fortunate rich. You'll all take notice of squatters some day, cause what ever you think we won't go away! DIRTY SQUATTERS!

Drum kicks rip through halls like gunshots some kids kickin a ball, i see cops out front circling my block they wont stop till the quota's filled and the prison door's locked slavecatchers on the prowl for the new plantation i see 'em and i growl, they're a representation of everything wrong with our situation i hate everything about 'em and i hate their nation i hate the fact that we need to have this conversation let me spit a couple facts for your contemplation crime is manufactured, a product of poverty consider the factors that brought us to these colonies bigotry and squalor, imperial injustice when we got here we built the same thing around us the madness surrounds us till it seems sane like it was natural to profit off other people's pain got a brand new mask, but no real change this nation is still crazy, insane still the same machine, the same institutions and we still need a revolution change is the only constant i expect and revolution's nothin but just hittin reset and what it resets to if we don't have respect is the same damn game that i've come to reject politics reflect all the worst parts of people the pettiness and tyranny of scared little men and i think it's a mistake to take those same people and give them power that we can't reign in i advocate abolition, a radical position but if you take a second, stop look listen understand my mission, expand your vision cooperation defines our existence we evolved big brains to help us live together escape the ape impulse for hierarchy liberty is our birthright, it' makes us human and everybody deserves to live free old song new words, same game no change new bombs old herds no shame same blame stay strong sling verbs raise hell fuck fame rip shots get heard, tanks take aim now! tedium is torture, don't waste your life waitin fight for your future, don't dick around debatin! every complication is a cause for celebration if it causes consternation in elite negotiations from the WTO back to the league of nations you can draw a straight line to the planned proliferation of a passive population, human domestication socialized brainwashing, they call it “education” we need calm consideration before bomb evisceration it's more then conversation, it's the foundation of nations also, their destruction. consider state machine construction leaders need enemies for the state to function so peace is the enemy of every government look at the wars that they wage and the ways that they've spent the taxes they stole, to fund their control and dig us all deeper down into the hole

Sad music is uplifting That's why I love to sing Disturbing things In your ear. (Freemasons run the country...) The rhyme is in my vein, I hope I flow right through it, and do it Better than you ever thought I could Ambition outweighs talent, that's understood, now it's high time I should Explain myself clearly: Striving to be better than I was yesterday, And then, again, tomorrow, than we are today. It's a glow-in-the-dark spark of inspiration, Imagination lit a flame under my ass – To audaciously ask; to call for response With the words we want, and the beats we need Without succumbing to the same old typical greed. We breed the inevitability of another day. With an eye on tomorrow, and a claim on today, all day In the worst way, from Monday to Friday, still Cursing, nursing hangovers and waiting for pay day. (Yeah, you know what that's like...) I'm the incredulous kid in the crowd, and I can't contain it, I have to shout out: "The Emperor is naked!" With my big fat brain I try to overstand, and with Ten chubby digits on my own two hands, build. Advertisers should pay reparations to your mates For aggression, invasion and surveillance of headspace. News is what someone is trying to conceal, the rest is Advertising, for a virtual world, that gets unmasked and revealed on battlefields As time flows inexorably on, like my spiel, Reason is reason enough for rebellion – It might be futile, but I'm a Romantic, Raised on stories and songs, folklore of revolution on These islands of the North Atlantic. Now there's a volcano, ready to explode, 'cos Pressure always comes from below, so I suppose Hope still lies with the Proles. I'm still shouting out, without really knowing what about, 'cos I prefer a chip on the shoulder to a spoon in the mouth, But this impotent fury gets a lot of us down, And things still perplex me, like: Why are people so meek in a relatively free society? Scared to take a risk with so many possibilities; Feel the strain of constraint of orthodoxy. You'd think it might get me down… But my head's in the stars, when my arse is parked on the ground. Sad music is uplifting That's why I love to sing Disturbing things in your ear (I write rhymes for birthday cards, and Jokes for Christmas Crackers...) We're a lukewarm people, that's why it's hard to integrate Don't reach out much, but always reciprocate. Another world is inevitable. 'Cos Nothin' don't never not just stand still Collective will will overcome This rhetorical clash of uncivilised civilistaions We're presented with conspicuous consumption As if it's something to aspire to for youths. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen... But then, Sad Music Is Uplifting Had the idealism educated out of my system, how do I get it back? I just rant on these tracks, 'cos I found a way of arguing where no one argues back (Except me.) And it's kicking me out of complacency. I get ubiquitous, like pop songs about loneliness The difference is, I got a keen sense of my ridiculousness. They bleed rivers of sorrow for us (we don't care) Trying to describe the world without retreating to despair, if All that is solid melts into air. It gets frustrating, 'cos I keep giving in to consumerism. And employers; it's sometimes depressing. The cold truth hurts: coercion works. There's an irony in all this rebellion caper: I'm writing radical lyrics up on headed paper, It makes me feel better about being pissed off. I find Easy Listening really hard to listen to. I'm humble with the humble, arrogant to the powerful Give me half a chance, and I'll give you an earful. Life is simple…..but people make it complicated. Constant struggle gets frustrating, but it's cool; We've been listening to sad music, Because it's uplifting. Struggler, keep struggling on... And you can use this song as your ringtone, If you're into that sort of thing It's called Sad music is uplifting.
