about

Album: Take No Orders
2022

lyrics

All that is left is a pile of rubble
Where once we slept in our bed
Now the rent we pay has been doubled
All the time we are in the red

Where have all the neighbors gone
When the bulldozers came at our door
and when the landlords’ job is done
No more housing for the poor

refr.
Sending debt collectors at our front door
Cops at our front door
Can’t afford a home no more
Gotta fight those thieves once more

Homelessness is on the rise
They tell us immigrants are to blame
But they are only paying another price
scapegoats for the capitalist frame

Now there’s high rise condo’s for the rich
And office buildings to look down on us
Divide and concur is their pitch
As they force upon us more budget cuts

refr.
Sending debt collectors at our front door
Cops at our front door
Can’t afford a home no more
Gotta fight those thieves once more

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!
