free associations on 'homage to catalonia' by george orwell

lyrics

It is very surreal thinking back
Lousy Days in a muddy crack
shells are whistling overhead
reading books behind the rusty shed

I lived in a hole over months and months
there was no living way out
“in the flooded ditch outside
the rats are paddling about”

“As the yellow dawn creeps up” from behind
the sentries sing a song
it echoes in the fascists brain at night
their sentry hums along

No God, No State's our alternative
hierarchies are bloody...conservative
No God, No State's our alternative
we are the people, we can think for ourselves!

There was no sight of aristocrats
They had rats, rats, oh as big as cats
No democratic bureaucrats
They had rats, rats, oh as big as cats

It's the state in which the people turn to things
this system supports greed, you know what it brings
people are different, can't be all the same
it's you against me, you know what's to blame

It's a disease of the alphabet
throwing up letters onto flags all red
socialists, communists and anarchists
it seemed, the separation was made in a newspaper's war

No God, No State's our alternative
hierarchies are bloody...conservative
No God, No State's our alternative
we are the people, we can think for ourselves!

There was no sight of aristocrats
They had rats, rats, oh as big as cats
No democratic bureaucrats
They had rats, rats, oh as big as cats
