lyrics

Tricked into thinking the poor are the lazy / But are you familiar with your fucking white history? / And the enclosing of the lands once held in common / Those lands once open for animal grazing and farming / Through acts of violence, destroying homes and villages / Create pastures for sheep to uphold elite privileges / Those dispossessed become paupers and vagabonds / A new criminal class and fodder for the prisons

Robber baron / Wage-slave master

Property is theft / Property is theft / Your ancestors weren't industrious / They stole it from the rest / Why do you think that the poor fill the prisons / And are kept from making truly democratic decisions? / Property is theft / Property is theft / This isn't about your personal possessions / But the products of our labour / And our collective dispossesion

Initially illegal by parliamentary decisions / But the crown had a new capitalist-inspired vision / And decided to side with these land-owners and thieves / Making it legal for common land to be seized / So now we sell ourselves into wage-slavery / Owning only our labour and increased misery / While captains of industry are seen as industrious / Lie to the workers about labour and profit

This is fucking class war

But we know how this property became their possession / Not through "hard work" but acts of aggression / The workers keep working and keep getting poorer / The rich gate their communities to hide from the horror / Don't be afraid to knock down a fence / Don't be afraid to tear down a prison / These structures are embodiments of capitalist interest / The same structures of class conflict

Robber baron / Wage-slave master
