slogans and chants

[rioters bloc]

so, i'm getting really sick of hearing the sameeeee chants being yelled out over and over again and so i thought perhaps we could share some :) seeing as how we're all from different areas of the world and all. obviously some will be specific to particular regions but can't hurt none to post those anyway :)

i'll kick it off :) i was gonna categorise them to make it easier, but then i realised that often the words can be replaced with others, like at forbes i switched up education in "bullshit, come off it! out education is not for profit!" with 'people's lives'.



* money for health and education, not for war and occupation

* hey Howard [or insert other leader], whaddo you say? How many kids have you killed today?

* bullshit, come off it! our education is not for profit!

* hey hey! ho ho! capitalism/sexism/racism/homophobia/fascism has got to go!

* this is not a police state, we have the right to demonstrate

* we choose when to procreate, cos church and state don't ovulate

* [this is probably my fave]
group 1: show me what democracy looks like
group 2: THIS is what democracy looks like! [gesturing to people at the protest]
group 1: show me what democracy looks like?
group: WE are what democracy looks like!

* we're students, we're loud, we're union and we're proud!

* heyyy freedom.. i wanna knoooowww, where did you go? [sung to the tune of the mighty mighty bosstones "where'd you go"

* one two three and bit, johnny howard's full of shit, five six seven eight, fuck the parties, smash the state!

* get your rosaries off our ovaries!

* always was, always will be, aboriginal land!

* who's streets? OUR streets!

* they say cut-back - we say FIGHT BACK/FUCK THAT!

* free, free the refugees, send mandy vanstone overseas

i can't think of any more at the moment, but ill post them up when i remember em :)

A Few of my Favorite Things

Warm April showers and cold moons in autumn,
good friends and lovers, you know when you've got 'em,
replacing government with anarchy,
these are a few of my favorite things.
Lockdowns and treesits and teach-ins and blockades,
joining with others to fight for a new day,
reclaiming streets while we dance and we sing,
these are a few of my favorite things.
When corporate culture, it surrounds me, and I think I'll give up,
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I go FUCK SHIT UP!


Take it to the Streets
To the tune of Fraggle Rock

Take it to the streets
Revolution is so sweet
Something we expect
is freedom and respect
freedom and respect

Radicals of today
We need to find a better way
We need to have a say
Equality's the way
Equality's the way

Stomp and smash the state,
It's time for us to liberate,
and bush can go to hell!
Rise up! Resist! Rebel!
Rise up! Resist! Rebel!


Finance Your State

They'll tax you when you earn,
They'll tax you when you spend,
They'll tax you when you're smoking
When you have a drink of gin

Don't dare laugh 'cause this ain't funny
The government (beat) just wants yr money--

For pigs,
For prisons,
For weapons of war,
Is that really worth working for?
I'm not bustin my ass to feed yr hate,
Can't use me to finance your hate (3x)

"Hang the rich, feed the poor, one solution, class war"

"Hey, hey,USA how many kids have you killed today?"

[OkaCrisis]

All these are awesome.

"Hang the rich, feed the poor, one solution, class war"
^Particularly wicked.

Iraq War protest slogans:

"Exxon, Mobil, BP, Shell! Take your war and go to Hell!"
"Drop Bush, not bombs!"

Wish I could remember some other good ones...

[bed_of_nails]

Might I advise making sure that your chants actually have verse?

bullshit, come off it! education's not for profit!

* hey hey! ho ho! fascism's (I just used one choice to make it easier to read) got to go!

* this isn't a police state, we have the right to demonstrate

* always was, always will be, aboriginal land! (I cant even find a way to make that one work)

These are just a few suggestions.

they do have verse - these are ones we use quite often and they've always worked well for us.

[bolshevik butcher]

1,2,3,4 we dont want a fucking war
5,6,,7,8 smash the police smash the state

and of course; NO war but the class war!

[RASH chris]

Whats the solution?
Armed/People's Revolution

Direct Action

Disease and starvation
Will not be solved by corporations
Thats bullshit
Get off it
The enemy is profit

Eat the Rich
Feed The Poor
One Solution
Class War

Class War (haha, or anything else)
When do we want it?
Now

You know how all those annoying rednecks chant "USA! USA! USA!" if they're even around counter-demoing and chanting that "O-SAM-A" can fit to the same rhythm. It made them pretty mad at S24.

1-2-3 Anarchists are we
We Fight along with the working class
and kill the bourgeousie



Oh and "the whole world's a'shakin, follow Bob Avakian" heh heh.

In Belgium we used (during the anti-Iraqi war demonstrations):
1,2,3,4, we don't want your fucking war
5,6,7,8, steek die bommen in uw reet

(which means: put those bombs up yours)

;)

[Paradox]

[Eoin Dubh]

I was once at an pro-choice counter demo, and across the street at a catholic church the pro life faction had gathered.
One hilarious guy in the crowd kept bellowing" Mary did not have a choice!"
Ooooooo! You should have seen the effect it had on the pro lifers! Talk about angry!! Lol He was infering that god was a rapist! Lol

[Guest]

anti-bush slogans are so ambiguous, and can be used at absolutely any kind of rally:

Hey Bush, we know you, your daddy was a killer too!

or, "from iraq to palestine, occupation is a crime"

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

FESTIVUS YES
BAGELS NO

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

one of my favorites that I heard in DC a couple of years ago, actually at the only large-scale protest I've ever been to...
when the mounted police showed up...

get the animals off the horses
get the animals off the horses
etc.
