Aus-Rotten - Tax Shelter Lyrics
Another vacant building is a tax shelter and nothing moreCemented doors and windows keeping out the poorWhat purpose does it serve to keep these buildings emplyDestroying our community to protect abandoned propertyFunctioning as financial loopholes instead of the housing they could makeBecause those owning empty buildings claim a generous government tax breakSo is housing just a luxury to b enjoyed by the upper classAnother right you don't deserve if you haven't got the cashThe trouble with ruling class financial tacticsIs that it's the people who need shelter not their taxesDestruciton described as progress evicting people from their shelterRenovating and rebuilding under the guise of making cities betterBut who does this progress better by putting people in the streetHas it benefitted the community when construction is completeHousing is not a privledge, not a luxury but a rightcommunities don't function any better with their problems out of sightOur communities consise of more than concrete, brick and steelIt's made up of people including the homeless they concealThe trouble with ruling class financial tacticsIs that it's the people who need the shelter not their taxesEvery inch of established land got that way by means of forceAnd by paying rent were forced to contribute to that sourceWith our communities our people suffer under this establishmentIt's not about housing these are human rights they make us rentOnly the landlords profit as our lives are sold and boughtAnd those who fight this process get evicted from their squatSo while our leaders carry out these unjust squat evictionsThey prove that freedom can't exist under capitalist conditionsThe trouble with ruling class financial tactics-acapo
