Radio recording by Patapoe. Live at Hi Ha Happening, Amsterdam, Het Lieverdje, Het Spui. September 29, 2023

This one is kinda hilarious because some people dressed like clouds came dancing around is, which is reported by the radio maker and a visitor of the event. Just imagine what's happening, close your eyes and join the event, singing along 'with a crowbar and a hammer'.. :-)

lyrics

WHAT'S NOT ALLOWED, CAN STILL BE DONE

There is a house that’s empty – Walls as cold as ice
As cold as paying rent – You pay the highest price
There is a house that’s empty – weathered, full of mold
There’s something you can do – It’s easy to be told: You take

REFR.
A crowbar and a hammer – And near the hole of the key
Between the door and doorpost – You break the lock so easily

This house no longer empty – No more sleeping on the street
The struggle ‘gainst the state – is the fireplace you need
This house no longer empty – And there’s many more out there
To squat for everyone – so tell it everywhere: You take

REFR.

There’s another house to squat – The landlord is a thief
Solve the housing shortage – easy to achieve
There’s another house to squat – The law’s not on our side
So we squat the place together – And keep it occupied: We take

REFR.

What’s not allowed, can still be done!
What’s not allowed, can still be done!

English version of the Dutch: Wat Niet Mag, Dat Kan Nog Steeds!
