They’re putting on their uniform And they’re so proud of it They’re big shots in their uniform But they are full of shit They’re so happy in their uniform The law is on their side They are judges in their uniform They’re always in the right That’s why o why they are allowed to kill That’s why o why to kill they always will They’re putting on their badges You better not be black They may shoot you, wearing badges They will have each others’ back They are licensed by their badges to tell you to obey They are turned on by their badges They’re gonna make you pay All cops are bigots You’re guilty just because All cops are bigots You’re guilty just because They’re putting on their riot gear You better not protest They’ve got orders and their riot gear They’re going to make an arrest They’re marching about in riot gear They’re doing as they’re told They’ve got batons and their riot gear They will beat you ‘till you fold That’s why o why they are allowed to kill That’s why o why to kill they always will All cops are bigots You’re guilty just because All cops are bigots You’re guilty just because All cops are bigots ACAB

No More 03:31
Miss cell number 27 – she is leaving She’ll be walking through the gate She’s never coming back, she says And she can hardly wait She’s done with prison time, she says Someone else will take her place Hugs all around and wish you wells I see her smiling face – and she says refr. No more, no more For my children, no more I’m going back home to my children once more All that she has, Miss cell number 27 She put in a blue plastic bag She’s taking her name from the door and she’s going down the stairs (one last time!) Goodbye time spent in isolation She’s bidding the guards farewell Hello laughter, goodbye aggravation She’s got so much stories to tell Refr.

Who is telling us where to go and where to stay and who says NO to questions asked, permits applied for Who declared the immigrants war? Who is standing in our way and who is law and who is paid for stamps to give, entrance denied to those that tried to make it up here Who makes money and has a say in who gets locked up, has to pay for being here or being there and either way nowhere is safe, – Let’s Refr: Take no orders Let’s beat the borders Let’s cross the lines Let’s ignore the signs Who’s responsible, who is rich and who is pulling strings, and which politicians do not lie or cry them crocodile tears when you die? All they ever do is take Turning people into slaves, turning slavery into profit Turning profit into property Into poverty for you and for me There is no reason to obey Living lives that lead to the grave Let’s be standing in the way, Make a difference, start today – Let’s Refr. Take no orders Let’s beat the borders Let’s cross the lines Let’s ignore the signs Let’s beat beat beat the borders! Tekst: Joke Kaviaar, 18 januari 2012 Muziek: Peter Storm, 20 april 2019

Heilig Land 02:48
Grenzen gemaakt van kogels Tot terroristen verklaard alle doden Olijfbomen en mensen ontworteld Eens water vloeit er nu bloed Heilig is steeds weer de oorlog Bezet het land met gebeden Traangas en tanks in hun kielzog verklaren daders zich vrede Vrede gemaakt van kogels De muren hoger en hoger Kind’ren gemarteld opgesloten Speelgoed verruild voor stenen Heilig is steeds weer de oorlog Dit is geen strijd om de vrede Scherpschutters dansen in ‘t kielzog van leugens rond de gebeden Gebeden gemaakt van kogels De grond wordt droger en droger Moeders krijten als vogels De waarheid opnieuw te bewenen Heilig is steeds weer de oorlog Verklaard aan een volk zonder macht Gelijk is geen strijd van bedrog en de wereld slaapt altijd nog zacht Heilig is nog altijd de oorlog van het land dat onderdrukking bracht Want kiezels zijn hetzelfde als kogels De roep om de vrijheid verdacht Heilig is steeds weer de oorlog Verklaard aan een volk zonder macht Gelijk is geen strijd van bedrog en de wereld slaapt altijd nog zacht Tekst: Joke Kaviaar, 15 mei 2018 (Al Nakba dag) Muziek: Peter Storm en Joke Kaviaar

Voor ons staat een ware held die onze winsten veilig stelt Een echte Nederlandse leeuw voor onze nieuwe Gouden Eeuw U houdt – dat maakt ons o zo blij – ons land van vreemde smetten vrij En wat ons extra vreugde schenkt, dat zijn de orders die het brengt Refr: Dit is de lust van Hollands Glorie Zo kraait de VOC victorie (2X) Voor klootjesvolk en vaderland Gulden, Euro en Krugerrand een lukratief bewaakte grens ‘t Is uw en onze grote wens Waarin een klein land groot kan zijn Wapens en grenzen zijn ons terrein We jagen mensen op de vlucht en plukken daardoor dubbel vrucht Refr: Dit is de lust van Hollands Glorie Zo kraait de VOC victorie (2x) Voor elke Frontex operatie valt u bij ons in de gratie Op ‘t strand, daar spoelen de doden aan Zo krijgt ons rendement ruim baan Tekst: Joke Kaviaar en Peter Storm Muziek: Peter Storm

about

Your Local Pirates Netherlands

Here we are: Joke Kaviaar and Peter Storm. Together, we are Your Local Pirates: a couple of singing rebels.

We sing and make music, acoustic songs with guitar and voice. You can find us at demonstrations, alternative festivals and wherever we get ourselves invited to make the atmosphere even more rebellious than the mood already is.

Be prepared for our attack!
