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
