'tis a creepin' boozh-wah dictatorship by Jim Sharp

the roads are lined with the coppers forces
and yet! we must march ahead of our sea change.
why shud we fear walking thru heavy metal?
who says the workers has no thoughtful minds?
how else cud we pierce your tyrannical state?
who says our young ones be class neutral?
'tis "known!" why you shud legislate & incarcerate our leaders
and that our labour regime be nought but! invisible bars,
you can’t add our young ones to your class.
who says that workers have no will to fight?
how else shall we pierce your power-over us?
who says our young ones be class neutral?
'tis "known!" why you shud summon us before the courts
and yet! though you jail us one & all,
we shall in waves refuse your domination.
