All in it together
I want a library in my local Lloyds
I want a nursing home in the Natwest
I want a kindergarten in the Co-op
I want a hospital in the H.S.B.C
I want to see bankers march for their bonuses
I want stockbrokers to strike for their pay
I want the army to have to buy missiles by holding a jumble sale
If you're poor or you're running from a war
Fill out this form and wait there by the door
But if you've got millions then come in, that's brilliant
Buy up some land and build houses galore
Buy more,
and more,
and more..
and more...
But i can't pay the mortgage and i can't pay the rent
'Cause now we're homeless the money's all spent
But i can't claim benefits 'cause they've all been cut
And i can't squat a building 'cause they've all been shut
Can't sleep on the streets 'cause we'll get locked up
So let's all go to prison!
Free bed, free food, free clothes, free shoes - let's all go to prison!
Free haircuts, free heating, free telly and a free gym - let's all go to prison!
Free healthcare - dental, medical, mental - let's all go to prison!
Free ceilings, free floors, free windows, free walls - let's all go to prison!
Let’s all go, let’s all go, let’s all go to prison
Let’s all go, let’s all go, let’s all go to prison
I want a nursing home in the Natwest

all you need is ....
Love’s not an abstract noun
Love’s not empty words
Love is what you do
It’s simple, but not easy
Love is sharing what you have with those who need it
Love is fighting oppression wherever you see it wherever you see it
Love is loving everyone, not just those who love you back!
All you need is love? X4
Bollocks!
You might also need food (foo-oo-ood)
You might also need clean water (clean waaa-teer)
You might also need shelter if you want to survive (she---e---e-elteeeer)
If you’ve got love and no food – you’re going to be really screwed hungry
If you’ve got love and no water – then how you going to raise your daughter?
(That was a gratuitous rhyme there!)
You can’t have love without equality
You can’t have equality without democracy
You can’t have democracy without underdstanding
You see it’s actually quite complex
All you need is …x3
After this brief re-appraisal of the situation as outlined by John Lennon back in the 1960s,
I think we’ve all agreed that love is very important
but we propose to redefine love as something you actually do,
not something you merely say, over and over and over and over and over again
Like the hippies do!
I think we’ve all agreed
That love is one of the things you need
But you can’t have love without organisation
No, love and organization are not mutually exclusive
Organisation is love in action
So….blablabla
Love’s not empty words
Love is what you do
It’s simple, but not easy
Love is sharing what you have with those who need it
Love is fighting oppression wherever you see it wherever you see it
Love is loving everyone, not just those who love you back!
All you need is love? X4
Bollocks!

better be better
You think that you’re better than me
Because you wear a tie
While I pass you by
With my odd socks on and my jumper on inside out
And you think that you’re better than her
Because you shave your legs
Whilst she consciously “flouts this expectation of the patriarchy”
And you think that you’re better than him because you have a proper job and you pay your taxes 10% of which are spent on building bombs to drop on little brown people overseas (oh please)
And he thinks that he’s better than you because he does not pay taxes which are spent on the industrial complex yet he is perfectly happy to have your taxes pay his rent so I guess what I’m saying is that instead of judging others we should always look at ourselves first and be aware of hypocrisy ‘cos I don’t think that you’re better than me but I don’t think that I’m better than you either cos we’re both different and we have different value systems so please make sure that the values you have are your own and not imposed from without and remember that not everyone has accepted the rules of the game that most people play and there’s no point in sending someone off when they don’t want to be on the pitch anyway yet by the same logic it is hypocritical to complain about the game and then run from the sidelines to the pitch to gain from the parts of the game that benefit you I’d suggest that it would be better to find new people to play a new game with and agree the rules with them and if it goes well then maybe some people who are sent off from the old game will join in and there may even be some people who will join in of their own volition and remember that it’s not a competition, no it’s not a competition, no it’s not a competition no it’s not a competition it’s not a competition, no it’s not a competition, no it’s not a competition no it’s not a competition to conform to an external set of values and create divisions according to how successfully they are obeyed.
But I am not better than you
And you are not better than me
And we will only get better
When we see diversity in unity
Because you wear a tie
While I pass you by
With my odd socks on and my jumper on inside out
And you think that you’re better than her

bourgeois individualist
I'm a bourgeois individualist
I go to work then i go get pissed
And i don't want no one to bother me
Just mind me own business and me family's
He's a bourgeois individualist
He goes to work then he go gets pissed
And he don't want no one to bother him
Just likes it when his nephews call him uncle jim
I fly away on holiday to chill and find myself
I sit on me bum in a third world slum
And admire my spiritual wealth
He flies away on holiday to open his third eye
Fuck the tonne of carbon he's left up in the sky
But i'm a bourgeois individualist
I don't like to be harrassed by communists
Who say "we must go on strike to seize the means of production"
When i'm trying to save money for my wife's lipo-suction
He's a bourgeois individualist
He don't like to be harrassed by communists
Who say "we must go on strike to seize the means of production"
When he's trying to save money for his wife's lipo-suction
I drive a 4X4 and when i close that door
It's like a second home
I don't believe in class
That's a thing of the past!

burn it down
Young Muslim – Babar Ahmed – arrested 2003
He’d given money to a Palestinian charity
He had some radical opinions – a family and a wife
Now they want t keep Babar behind bars for the rest of his life
You see he filed a complaint about police brutality
Had some dangerous thoughts about things like peace and liberty
It seems your story can’t win unless it’s one that you can spin
So will this song make a difference if we make enough din?
Singing:
We don’t like the MI6 we’re going to burn it down
State-sponsored terrorists – drive ‘em out of town
We’ll bring a lot of gasoline, pour it on the floor
Light a match, say a prayer, and then run right out the door
Burn it down, burn it down, we’re going to burn it down,
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
If you just sang that chorus then you just broke the law
To be a terrorist now you’ve just got to flap your jaw
And hey who knows – before you have the chance to blink
Whether you’re a criminal might depend on what you think
Back then they came for Babar, maybe next they’ll come for you
Let me tell you what I think all of us could do
Sing this song with me, raise your fists and caterwaul
If we all fight together then they can’t arrest us all
But we don’t like Woodward prison and we’re going to burn it down
There’s an innocent man in there crushed under the crown
We’ll bring a lot of gasoline and pour it on the floor
Light a match, say a prayer and then run right out the door
Burn it down, burn it down, we’re going to burn it down,
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
My friends said “Maybe he really was guilty”
I said “Where’s the evidence?” They said “On the BBC”
Face it, the media ruin anyone they just pick and choose
They’ll always find a scapegoat, just go and ask Fox News
“You can have a voice on anything!”“Except the things that matter!”
And if you act on your opinions you’re likely to get battered
“Do you like labour or the tories?” “I don’t give a shit
But I’m not so pleased to see our lives couped up bit by bit”
But we don’t like the apartheid wall and we’re going to burn it down
Racist nation-states don’t deserve exclusive towns
We’ll bring a battering ram and batter back the hate
Fuck it’s the 21st century – let’s incinerate the gate!
Burn it down, burn it down, we’re going to burn it down,
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down x 2
