Aus-Rotten - Tax Shelter lyrics

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
Be 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 on 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
It's 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 shelter not their taxes

The trouble with ruling
Class financial tactics
Is that it's the people who need
The shelter not their taxes

Free the squats!

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 the 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

Media Blackout aus-Rotten
Isolation or Solution aus-Rotten
The System Works for Them aus-Rotten

The trouble with ruling
Class financial tactics
Is that it's the people who
Need shelter not their taxes

The trouble with ruling
Class financial tactics
Is that it's the people who
Need shelter not their taxes
