Those Thieves

All that is left is a pile of rubble
Where once we slept in our bed
Now the rent we pay has been doubled
All the time we are in the red

Where have all the neighbors gone
When the bulldozers came at our door
and when the landlords’ job is done
No more housing for the poor

refr.
Sending debt collectors at our front door
Cops at our front door
Can’t afford a home no more
Gotta fight those thieves once more

Homelessness is on the rise
They tell us immigrants are to blame
But they are only paying another price
scapegoats for the capitalist frame

Now there’s high rise condo’s for the rich
And office buildings to look down on us
Divide and concur is their pitch
As they force upon us more budget cuts

refr.
Sending debt collectors at our front door
Cops at our front door
Can’t afford a home no more
Gotta fight those thieves once more
