Shut Doors

Same old story, the world around
We’re all getting priced out of
Our OWN towns
Discarded youth fend for
Your self
Coz those on top won’t
Share the wealth
To every pub landlord
That’s taken us in
We pack it to the rafters
Everybody wins
An age old formula
Tested and true
We take the door
They take the booze

They’re Killing our music
To develop property
Soaring business rates
And music license fee
Backdoor deals the council’s taking bribes
No room for you
The day the music died

A sense of well-being
Somewhere to belong
A community hub
Coz Music makes us strong
A place to dance and
Quench your thirst
To the noise complaining twat
WE WERE HERE FIRST!
Gonna keep on fighting
Celebrate our noise
Support your local venues
Before they get destroyed
Invest in music culture and recieve applause
Snatch back our culture from their greedy claws

They’re Killing our music
To develop property
Soaring business rates
And music license fee
Backdoor deals the council’s taking bribes
No room for you
The day the music died

They’re shutting our venues
They’re killing live music
They’re choking our culture

They’re Killing our music
To develop property
Soaring business rates
And music license fee
Backdoor deals the council’s taking bribes
No room for you
The day the music died
