Back to haywire front page

SQUAT THE WORLD

Slimy bastards slide in new laws
Total control to the landlord - shit on the poor
Got thrown out - got behind on the rent
No compromise so the bailiff sent

Down on the stree, hungry & cold
Walk down the road, where the fuck can i go?
Walk down the high street with all these buildings boarded up
Waith all these unwanted buildings homelessness fucking sucks

Bollocks! I'm going to take over my life
Force a window open in the middle of the night
Housing for all is a basic human right
So squat the world and start to fight.

FACTIONS

The reds are under the beds, the fascists kicking down the door
A thousand different factions I don't want this any more
I'm sick of hearing slogans band-waggoning for support
I'm tired of being told, told what I should've thought

Factions - fighting
Backs you're biting
Backs you're stabbing
Power - you're grabbing

A thousand ideologies but it's goverment all the same
Left or right I couldn't give a toss - it's one sick deadly game
"Each different brand of freedom" they say "will give you value for money
But for those who give up theirs it's never quite so funny

Freedom imposed by the gun
Freedom imposed by the knife
Freedom to write an "x"
But not to live my life

I'm an individual won't bow down
Won't become no mindless clown
Won't become no fascist clone
Cos I've got a mind of my own

CIVILISED?

Boiled, grilled, fried, roasted
Tortured, poisoned, electrocuted
Hunted, baited, gassed, shot
Imprisoned, whipped, beaten - and for what?

There's thousands of these atrocities I could reel off
And you tell me man's civilised? Fuck Off.
