Another vacant building is a tax shelter and nothing more
|
Cemented doors and windows keeping out the poor
|
What purpose does it serve to keep these buildings emply
|
Destroying our community to protect abandoned property
|
Functioning as financial loopholes instead of the housing they could make
|
Because those owning empty buildings claim a generous government tax break
|
So is housing just a luxury to b enjoyed by the upper class
|
Another right you don't deserve if you haven't got the cash
|
The trouble with ruling class financial tactics
|
Is that it's the people who need shelter not their taxes
|
Destruciton described as progress evicting people from their shelter
|
Renovating and rebuilding under the guise of making cities better
|
But who does this progress better by putting people in the street
|
Has it benefitted the community when construction is complete
|
Housing is not a privledge, not a luxury but a right
|
communities don't function any better with their problems out of sight
|
Our communities consise of more than concrete, brick and steel
|
It's made up of people including the homeless they conceal
|
The trouble with ruling class financial tactics
|
Is that it's the people who need the shelter not their taxes
|
Every inch of established land got that way by means of force
|
And by paying rent were forced to contribute to that source
|
With our communities our people suffer under this establishment
|
It's not about housing these are human rights they make us rent
|
Only the landlords profit as our lives are sold and bought
|
And those who fight this process get evicted from their squat
|
So while our leaders carry out these unjust squat evictions
|
They prove that freedom can't exist under capitalist conditions
|
The trouble with ruling class financial tactics
|
Is that it's the people who need shelter not their taxes
