about

Eat Your Landlord is track 7 off Ashera's second album, Rob the Rich.

lyrics

An endless chain of evictions stretches from
inner city tenements back into antiquity.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are the Berber peoples
revolting against the dying Roman Empire.
(everybody eat your landlord)

The cost of rising rent is the life of a houseless
woman, frozen to death, clutching her baby.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are the Estonian peasants of St George’s Nightly uprising,
throwing off the yoke of landlords and christian imperialism.
(everybody eat your landlord)

Rent is feudal theft, an old injustice,
but the peasants revolted and fought back.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are Robin Hood,
re-appropriating the wealth that landlords have stolen.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are the October Revolution
bringing kingdoms of landed gentry to their knees.

Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.

Landlords shut off water while police beat
tenants with clubs. The children were thirsty.
(everybody eat your landlord)

But the Jewish women on the Lower Eastside fought back.
They organized rent strikes.
(everybody eat your landlord)

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory murdered our
mothers for the profit of bosses and landlords.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are Joan of Arc freeing her people.
We are Pauline Newman building power on the factory floor.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are Friuli, rising up against
Venetian colonizers, clergy, nobility.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are the Spanish Revolution.
We are Occupy Wall Street.
(everybody eat your landlord)

We are Ferguson. We are Minneapolis.
We are Portland.

Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
Everybody eat your landlord.
