Step toe step toe step in the wet woodlands all the water voles in the dance,
Wiggle your jelly to the left of the strimmer and
join the travelling badger palance!
Further left and don’t you come back to these
Woods you learnt to walk with the ants
cause jelly babies and high court bailiffs are rackin up pylon lines in the trance
CHORUS
Bash me up while you thieve the land
Leave a gash for the wild to roam
Hs2 put your tummy out and
Compulsory purchase order that home !
Translocate an ancient woodland
By moving the topsoil and
your hawks’ll get all the nesting birds cause if you kill’m that’s a criminal act,
Permission to bypass mitigate
life in a woodland of thousands of years
they’ll pass it through cause they’re actually you they’re the
créme on the cock of the dancing bear
Chorus.
Bash me up while you thieve the land
Leave a gash for the wild to roam
Hs2 put your tummy out and
Compulsory purchase order that home !
Can we come into your bricks and mortar
Hope you don’t mind if we look around
We won’t contaminate your drinking water cause drilling the aquifer should be sound,
If you deny us entry into your homes or disagree with our plans
Well here’s an injunction and on it quite clearly states at the bottom VABLAAAMM
Chorus
Bash me up while you thieve the land
Leave a gash for the wild to roam
Hs2 put your tummy out and
Compulsory purchase order that home !
They fence in, we pull the fence down again
We do absolutely nothing and they choke us out and then
They look bigger but we tickle diggers
we’re learning to dance on Britain’s bald head
No fixed time I spent near Uxbridge
No fixed time doing nothing at all constable
Sign me tits Chris Packham I’m
Learning to dance for the hs2 ball
Did you hear of the woman that died in her garden of shock while hs2 did evict?
Our nose they broke, our thumb they burnt or our head they cracked while finishing shift?
Non-swearing direct action training it was suggested, by a keyboard warrior pushing the buttons to legitimise the company’s death
Well that sings a song and it isn’t very long
All cops are well meaning
Doo Dee diddledey deee
The second verse is the same as the first but a
Little bit calmer and wash your hand first
All cops are well meaning dee di diddledey deeee
It’s not that I think swearing is the only effective fucking strategy plan,
But exclusively non-swearing undermines a defence of the land if we’re talking about rigging platforms for the
Spat on, shat on and marginalised
If not by the swearing criminals
Who the fuck dyou think we’ll be led by
If not by the swearing criminals
Who know too well the taste of the blight
If not by the swearing criminals
Would it be people who’ve not had to swear to survive and
Where would priorities lie
Would it be homelessness or collectible wines
Non-swearing is a tactic not the foundation of the governments demise
The civilised, and the swear word users
May we all learn the rich history of movements
Some softly urinate
Some pile shite
Policing tactics carries the blight
And it isn’t swearing to
sneak into a compound
And whisper a couple of little fockoffs
Into the tank of a digger
Dee di diddledey doo Di diddledey Dee Di diddledey dee,
When no one’s around in the middle of the night
Dee Di diddledey daeeee
As long as jelly tots get imprisonment
You’ll hear a whole swear word sentence
It’ll shake the ornate tea cups
Without the will to repent
Chorus.
Bash me up while you thieve the land
Leave a gash for the wild to roam
Hs2 put your tummy out and
Compulsory purchase order that home !
They fence in, we pull the fence down again
We do absolutely nothing and they choke us out and then
They look bigger but we tickle diggers
we’re learning to dance on Britain’s bald head
No fixed time I spent near Uxbridge
No fixed time doing nothing at all constable
Sign me tits Chris Packham I’m
Learning to dance for the hs2 ball

Fifty thousand acres a day
Of rainforest is lost
Forever destroyed
Profit for some but at what cost?
Thirty seven percent to timber harvest
Twenty eight percent agricultural expansion
Twenty one percent to wildfire
Fourteen percent to mineral extraction
As has been said before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Same as it was before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Sixty percent of all wild animals
Have disappeared in forty years
And many have gone forever
Surely a fact to fear
Thirteen percent to habitat loss
Thirty one percent habitat degredation
Sixteen percent to climate change
Forty percent to exploitation
As has been said before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Same as it was before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Contamination by man made chemicals
Affects every marine organism
The ocean is a dumping ground
For the effluent of consumerism
Rising acidity is killing the coral
Caused by fossil fuel pollution
And the run off from mass farming
While big business tries to shut down the solutions
As has been said before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Same as it was before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting

HS2 i know all about you
How crooked you are and all the things that you do
Londons water is poisoned and the blames on you
Money wont fix this shame on you
Your crooked and corrupt and were fed up
And were at the point where weve had enough
You cant destroy my spirit even when youre rough
When life gets tough i never give up
Its hard to comprehend what you choose to do all the wildlife and peoples homes
You bulldoze through
Cant let this carry on, with what you plan to do
Youre all held accountable, all of you
You will feel pain worse than all the lives you hurt
Were helping the planet and look after the earth
Youre not going to win you heard it from me first
Just know it was us that sent you just desserts
Were getting better still not at our best
We live our lives with no regrets
We all will fight till theres nothing left
We'll be there every step till our last breath
Were getting better still not at our best
We live our lives with no regrets
We all will fight till theres nothing left
We'll be there every step till our last breath
HS2 were comin for you
Were closer now than ever to fully stopping you
All the silencning you do we still end up on the news
Were bring to the light all the lying that you do
I wont stop till youre stopped
Ill give it all i got
Im better than your climbers i climbed to the top
TWICE YOU KICKED MY DOG DONT THINK THAT I FORGOT
Three days in that tree and you couldnt get me
Every dirty tactic to try and break me
Spotlights at night so i couldnt sleep
But still i held on tight and protected that tree
How do you feel that you could get me
I had my face on tele now its my turn to speak
And i will let leak all you done to me
Theres so much support for this righteous cause
Biggest land grab since to first world war
Were getting better still not at our best
We live our lives with no regrets
We all will fight till theres nothing left
We'll be there every step till our last breath
Were getting better still not at our best
We live our lives with no regrets
We all will fight till theres nothing left
We'll be there every step till our last breath
Yes i got love and plenty of rage
Im also not a fan of negative change
Its not all good i got a bit of hate
Haters gonna hate but hate motivates
You took away the woods which was my home
Now where do i go who knows
If you want to find me in the woods i roam
With my pack and no post code
All of this land is my home
I left my home and job to fight
Ive got great memories and had the time of my life
It is our fight what im doing is right
And i wonder how do you sleep at night
Been punched, kicked, and strangled on the floor
Can you do much more
Ill take what you give and give back much more
And if you think im done ive only just begun
