THE TYRANTS FLAWED NIGHTMARE - A counter to THE TYRANTS PERFECT DREAM
"PULL THE TYRANT DOWN"
Easy words to say...but to put into action? that's a little harder. The most fucked up thing about it is we will never actually overcome the tyrant. Why? We have the numbers on our side. But among those numbers, how many of you are willing to actually go out and DO something about it. I don't mean bitch on twitter or facebook, whinging about what the governments doing and how in your days things were different. I'm not expecting any of us to picket the houses of parliament, but if we all stood together and said "NO" to one of the systems iron shod policy, they’d HAVE to take us seriously.
But NO ONE apart from a very select minor, are ever going to do this. I think of Brian Haw as I write this song introduction, and the 10 years he put in to picketing, and actually living in a tent outside The Houses of Parliament. If only we had a million more like him. For those not familiar with him, I’ve supplied his Wikipedia info below. He was a diamond bloke, I remember speaking with him when I was homeless and telling him that one day I was going to do my bit thru my music, he told me good luck, with an ironic smile. I got the impression that he heard that sentiment from people all the time, probably people that never actually did ANYTHING. I reckon he’d be surprised that a decade and a bit later I AM doing my bit. We ALL have gifts that god has blessed us with; I personally believe I was given this gift of music, to spread the message. So whether thru religious, political, spiritual or downright Anti-Illuminati songs, I continue my one man mission…As to whether I actually make a difference? I don’t know. Perhaps somewhere down the down I will insopre someone to try to glimpse outside the matrix. But I dedicate this song to Brian, and others of his ilk, Alex Jones, and (Anonymous (used as a mass noun) a loosely associated international network of activist and hacktivist entities

BRIAN HAW
Brian William Haw (7 January 1949 – 18 June 2011) was an English protester and peace campaigner who lived for almost ten years in a peace camp in London's Parliament Square from 2001, in a protest against UK and US foreign policy. He began the Parliament Square Peace Campaign before the 2001 United States attacks, and became a symbol of the anti-war movement over the policies of both the United Kingdom and the United States in Afghanistan and later Iraq. At the 2007 Channel 4 Political Awards he was voted Most Inspiring Political Figure.
ILLNESS AND DEATH
In September 2010 Haw was diagnosed with lung cancer] On 1 January 2011 he left England to receive treatment in Berlin. Haw, who was described as a chain smoker, continued to smoke cigarettes until his death.[34] Haw died in Germany in the early hours of 18 June 2011 of lung cancer He is survived by seven children.
Reacting to news of Haw's death, Tony Benn said "Brian Haw was a man of principle. His death marks the end of a historic enterprise by a man who gave everything to support his beliefs" At his death Al Jazeera described him as an "unsung hero" Mark Wallinger said "I admired [Haw's] single-minded tenacity. His rectitude was a mirror that the people in the building opposite couldn't bear. Now that he's gone, who else have we got?". The British MP John McDonnell has called for a statue of Haw to be assembled to celebrate peace. British artist Banksy honoured Haw with a tribute on his website.
London Assembly Member Jenny Jones called for Westminster Council to erect a blue plaque for Brian Haw immediately, bypassing English Heritage's criteria that the person commemorated should have been dead for two decades or passed the centenary of their birth, whichever is the earlier.

THE TYRANT’S FLAWED NIGHTMARE (RUKAS & CHOGAIA)
HOOK
The Heathen that fights, for Freedom then dies
EVen the wise are deceived and surprised
They beLIEve in their lies, not me I’m a rise
To me FEET and Look deep in their eyes! Fight!
VERSE 1 RUKAS
…The tyrant dies and his rule is over
Whilst the martyr DIES and his rule begins foolish soldier…
…are you SURE you’re on the side of right? Come round and let’s see
if you like the SIGHT of your family tied up gunned down in the street
Every TYrant believes in freedom, yeah for himself
And THOUGH I am for peace I believe in a fair law as well
THUS, every country has the right if necessity calls
To PULL the tyrant down “sonny lets fight coz its best if he falls”
…Here’s what happens the masses elect the Tyrant coz they’re FOOLED
He first came as a protector, now it’s a iron rule
…Free state? Please mate it’s a police state, what we SAY
Don’t matter peace? Nay it’s just a cliché…
SucCESSful freedom fighter stay honest friend
I pray you don’t become THAT what you hate most and, what you fought so long against
NEED bail we in jail and rotting monthly
Till an outsider spoke FOR us, Illegal alien hailed from a foreign country
Brother DO stay ahead of the, folks from immigration
Who SAY they’re fed up with moving folk that show up in their place
Uncovered WHO’S prey or predator? Post’em in a page dem
Views MAKE ya dead if they’re proven Yo but hole up in ya basement
But a FEW stay together a, -ppose administration
Shoot STRAIGHT ahead with ya movement though it blow up in ya face and
Fuck the NEWSpaper editor, show some innovation
Truths WAY? Ya vetted it you control the flow of information!
HOOK
The Heathen that fights, for Freedom then dies
EVen the wise are deceived and surprised
They beLIEve in their lies, not me I’m a rise
To me FEET and Look deep in their eyes! Fight!
VERSE 2 CHOGAIA - “FUCK FRANCO!”
People emigrated, to Europe and the states
ARTists lived in exile new country new candidates
Woman WERE treated like cattle by their own husbands
NOThing more than chattel or something found in the dustbins
You were in TALKS with Hitler kept the Germans from Spain
But DIDn’t help the Jews you just let’em burn in the flames
In 75’ your tyranny died light
Returned to life and people came back, well those that were still alive!
I wasn’t BORN when you were in power but I heard awful stories
That LEFT me feeling sour I was like “NO more please!”
…Till 39’ we lived in a democratic republic
Freedom of speech and suffrage us woman loved it
diVORCE was allowed nobility stripped off title
The CATHolic church had less power till its revival
…In 36’ you declared war Franco
ThereFORE I’m ashamed we were born in the same land No
…A little later, you became the dictator
NO more rights for woman “Our freedom? See ya later!”
People WEREn’t allowed to speak Galician, Vasque or Catalan
HAD to ban writers for working in their own land
HOOK
The Heathen that fights, for Freedom then dies
EVen the wise are deceived and surprised
They beLIEve in their lies, not me I’m a rise
To me FEET and Look deep in their eyes! Fight!
VERSE 3 - RUKAS & CHOGAIA
How to END totalitarianism? Rise up as one
THROW the whole military in prison lies? Suffer none!
“NO more waiting for others to fight the battle for you”
Take conTROL there’s no knight in shining armour to grapple for you
DEAL with fear before it’s used against you cannot let a
WEAK eMOTion like fear control you and No! “Man not ever
“Init? DON’T be timid gotta be in it to win it
It won’t start till YOU begin it cynic eternal minute the war infinite”
…No rulers, and we won’t support no tax
FLEE home be known dethrone the autocrats
So OPEN up ya eyes and learn how to see things ya might’a missed
COWards, weaklings, and Nihilists power seeking kings Sciolists
CreATed living hell Soul was traded in for wealth
Refusing TO believe that something could be greater than themselves
The tyrants NIGHTmare was flawed wake up its real look outside
The sleeping MASses are stirring “wiping the sleep from their eyes!”
HOOK
The Heathen that fights, for Freedom then dies
EVen the wise are deceived and surprised
They beLIEve in their lies, not me I’m a rise
To me FEET and Look deep in their eyes! Fight!
