lyrics

Been resisting bailiffs, left, right and centre
Fuck you bailiff scum you got no right to enter
Fuck your court order, this is where we live
You only took this job because you love evicting kids
600000 fucking houses are empty
So don’t fucking question why I choose to live rent free
Seen it fucking happen people living in tents
Turning people into criminals who can’t afford rent
That’s why we break and enter
Squat the lot
Create safe spaces out of reach of the cops
Well only fight harder if you send the pigs
They can meet our barricades with a fistful of bricks
Fuck your section 6
Your law is shit
This is our land and we taking it

Squat! Resist! Reclaim!
Fuck the law
Barricade
Squat! Resist! Reclaim!
Shelter is a human right ok

For a home of our own and a roof for our head
For the food on our plate and the warmth of our bed
For a space to live and a space to breathe
For a place to rage and a place to grieve
Because nothing says no like a blow to the head
And the only good bailiff is a bailiff that’s dead

Our towers are strong and our will it is steel
And a cop cannot kill what his heart cannot feel
Sometimes permission is not what they planned
Sometimes a life is the cost of the land
But nothing says no like a rock in your hand
And the only good bailiff is a bailiff that’s Hanges

So cmon you coppers
We staying right here
Fire your tear gas
We won’t be shedding no tears
Tales that are told are the tales that are tired
And we are all pawns in a game played by liars
But nothing says no like a bailiff on fire
And the only good bailiff is a bailiff on fire
