lyrics

I got a black bloc baby
and you know she loves me right
I got a black bloc baby
and she knows how to love me right
she ain’t slowed down since
I picked her up from jail last night

she wears a black balaklava under-
neath a black beret
yeah there’s a black balaklava under-
neath that black beret
and you don’t hear her coming
till the minute she’s slippin’ away

she likes to read to me
Kropotkin and Bakunin in bed
yeah she does, she reads to me
Kropotkin and Bakunin in bed
in her Guy de Bord neglige
the spectacle gets to my head

my baby don’t like fighting
she wants everyone to just get along
my baby don’t like fighting
she thinks everyone should just get along
but she says you can’t put out a fire
with kind words and a song

no you won’t change change a fascist
with logic or reason or sense
you won’t change a fascist
with logic or reason or sense
so just pull down your mask but
don’t become what you’re fighting against

from Seattle to Berlin
she’s been teargassed she’s been maced
from Seattle to Berlin
she’s seen teargas she’s seen mace
so watch out little Pepe
my baby’s gonna bust your face

my black bloc baby drives me
crazy and she keeps me sane
my black bloc baby drives me
crazy and she keeps me sane
I love my baby like
a brick loves a window pane
yeah I love my baby like
a brick loves a window pane
