What’s Not Allowed, Can Still Be Done
Translation of: Wat Niet Mag, Dat Kan Nog Steeds

There is a house that’s empty – Walls as cold as ice
As cold as paying rent – You pay the highest price
There is a house that’s empty – weathered, full of mold
There’s something you can do – It’s easy to be told: You take

REFR.
A crowbar and a hammer – And near the hole of the key
Between the door and doorpost – You break the lock so easily

This house no longer empty – No more sleeping on the street
The struggle ‘gainst the state – is the fireplace you need
This house no longer empty – And there’s many more out there
To squat for everyone – so tell it everywhere: You take

REFR.

There’s another house to squat – The landlord is a thief
Solve the housing shortage – easy to achieve
There’s another house to squat – The law’s not on our side
So we squat the place together – And keep it occupied: We take

REFR.

What’s not allowed, can still be done!
What’s not allowed, can still be done!
