INDK - Livin' With L.E.S

From The In Decay EP

Lyrics

When I first came to the neighborhood
Down beneath the up above
I knew I was in love.
Abandoned buildings winking and the red light district blinking at me.
Oh yeah, because I love criminals, I love crime.
The neighborhood's a time bomb and it's ticking on time.
But it's all going down,
The mayor says he wants our town.
But it's all going down,
The mayor says he wants our town.

Cuz someday-
We'll be going home to find we don't have any home at all
Anyday-
They'll section off our block with riot gear and come evict us all
Today-
The lower east side is yuppified with fat cats and their poor folk hide
Someday-
Maybe we will re-emerge from east river a turning tide
Avenue by avenue we'll take back everything we knew
The gardens, Squats, and all our share.
We'll even take back Tompkins Square!
I've got something of a problem with the nation
It's called gentrification
Marching to our neighborhood to lock us in the station.

"We're gonna clean up the streets!"
What? so we got cleaner streets to sleep on?
aw gee, thanks a lot
I always thought,
That killing was your main plot.
Didn't know you were so damn upright about it
Sneaking in expensive stores so we won't even fight about it
Creeping up block by block, you think you're so damn right about it
You've got all the "rights" you need
the S's on the end are always dollar signs
And we can read between the lines.

Cuz someday-
We'll be going home to find we don't have any home at all
Anyday-
They'll section off our block with riot gear and come evict us all
Today-
The lower east side is yuppified with fat cats and their poor folk hide
Someday-
Maybe we will re-emerge from east river a turning tide
Avenue by avenue we'll take back everything we knew
The gardens, Squats, and all our share.
We'll even take back Tompkins Square!
I've got something of a problem with the nation
It's called gentrification
Marching to our neighborhood to lock us in the station.

if you can't the word nigger, chances are you are a idealist liberal idiot who is so uncomfortable on the subject of race that you can only point fingers and you probably don't know any black people. Same with the word faggot. It's a word, if you are not a homophobe, you aren't a homophobe, saying a FUCKING WORD DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING! btw, this seems really unrelated, so just listen to the song. so fucking good.

@PutinWurst nicely said

@allwittynamestaken Jewery is work of the jews. I get that it's pretty different for everybody, but it's still important never the less.

@lookit87 *cough* Dead Prez *cough*

[allwittynamestaken]

@Marxinator nice name

[allwittynamestaken]

@ZwrotPL jewery? I'm no zionist (palestinian myself) but race for the most part is a social construct. for example, here you and ceasar chavez are considered completely different races, in Brazil your considered the same race. we considered french and english to be of the same race but in Europe they're considered seperate. its all in your perception. I'm not saying there's no difference, but what defines difference and what entails that difference is fairly subjective.

@allwittynamestaken I could go on for more, but I was stuck with the 500 character limit. So I apologize for the abrupt end to my comment before I was really able to make half a point.

[ZwrotPL]

@allwittynamestaken The very definition of Jews resides on the interests of capitalism/government. People associate racism solely with the "white" race (even though there are native 'whites' in plenty of parts of Eastern Asian, but the Jewish people are more racist as a whole than Europeans. The Poles and Irish were only demonized because of two countries overrun with Jewery, Germany and England. The both of which, I claim NO affiliation. Nationalism is not 'bad'.

[allwittynamestaken]

@twitterfire well fuck you too homophobe. have a splendid day :D

[twitterfire]

@allwittynamestaken fuck you faggot

[allwittynamestaken]

@ZwrotPL fuck racism and DEFINITELY fuck nationalism, the idea of "race" was created as a product of nationalistic imperialism to give an excuse to brutalize natives and enslave africans and discriminate against irish, poles, jews and other "non-ethnic whites". the irish and the poles are no longer considered non-white because the very definition of white resides on the interests of capitalism/government
