about

A factual song about the raid on a house on North Frederick St. in Dublin in September 2018 by An Gardaí Síochána in balaclavas. The house had been occupied by peaceful housing rights activists. Some protesters were injured by the guards who made their get away in an un-taxed van with an English registration on the back causing many to speculate links with the U.V.F. or the R.U.C. neither of which has been confirmed. The Guards no longer serve the people they serve the government hence the song title 'Government Security'. This a protest song in solidarity with the housing activists involved in that raid.

lyrics

Verse 1:
The Guards and the Tans are breakin' into North Frederick St. Terrorist threats from keepers of the peace.
Peaceful protest is not allowed.
Protect the landlords the law run foul.
Protect the rich let the poor die out.

Chorus:
Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána.

Verse 2:
Where's your badge? What's your number? Hidden faces filled with hate.
Insane with power and blind rage. Hurt the public, protect the state. Protect the crooks in every way. Dish out the corruption plate. See what money you can make. M15 chief takes over the free state. The Black and Tans are back did they ever go away? Brit police van helped them get away. Housing is a human right that won't go away. Housing is a human right that won't go away.

Chorus: Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis.
Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána dressed like ISIS. Making war out of the housing crisis. Gardaí Síochána.

Outro: Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardaí causin' a disruption.
Gardaí swimmin' in corruption. Gardaí causin' a disruption.
Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardaí causin' a disruption. Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardaí causin' a disruption. Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardaí causin' a disruption. Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardai causin' a disruption. Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardaí causin' a disruption. Gardaí swimmin' in corruption, Gardai causin' a disruption.

Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption. Causin' a disruption.
