If your rent has doubled there are different ways |
| [00:07.593] |
To cope with the situation and make it through your days |
| [00:11.434] |
There are therapeutic methods, such as playing darts |
| [00:15.196] |
With a picture of your landlord’s private body parts |
| [00:19.039] |
You can get a roommate, or 2 or 3 or 4 |
| [00:23.195] |
Build a loft and squeeze more beds onto every floor |
| [00:26.888] |
You can scratch up each Mercedes that you find on your street |
| [00:30.815] |
Say “**** off yuppie scum” to each yuppie scum you meet |
| [00:34.416] |
But do not kill your landlord – it will not end well |
| [00:39.219] |
You’ll be living rent-free — inside a prison cell |
| [00:49.826] |
You can pay a visit very early in the morn |
| [00:53.035] |
To where your landlord lives – but don’t forget the bullhorn |
| [00:57.274] |
You can form a samba band, march up and and down his road |
| [01:00.898] |
You can play with firecrackers as you watch them explode |
| [01:05.426] |
You can sing a song about 1848 |
| [01:08.889] |
When renters burned the mansions down and overthrew the state |
| [01:12.686] |
You can talk about your landlord, how much you’d like to see him dead |
| [01:16.494] |
Just make sure it remains only something that you said |
| [01:20.358] |
But do not kill your landlord – it will not end well |
| [01:24.185] |
You’ll be living rent-free — inside a prison cell |
| [01:35.011] |
You can say hi to your neighbors, organize a meeting |
| [01:38.875] |
Form a tenants’ union so it won’t be something fleeting |
| [01:42.791] |
Have some demonstrations, make plans for a rent strike |
| [01:46.788] |
Create a list of demands, perhaps something like |
| [01:50.322] |
No more rent increases, fix the things that break |
| [01:54.184] |
Get rid of all that mold in the walls, for goodness’ sake |
| [01:57.892] |
No more no-cause evictions, no more acting like an ass |
| [02:01.832] |
No more acting like a member of a feudal ruling class |
| [02:05.689] |
But do not kill your landlord – it will not end well |
| [02:09.262] |
You’ll be living rent-free — inside a prison cell |
