INDK - Living With L.E.S
Музыка
When I first came to the neighborhood
Down beneath the up above
I knew I was in love.
Abandoned buildings winking and the red light district blinking at me.
Oh yeah, because I love criminals, I love crime.
The neighborhood's a time bomb and it's ticking on time.
But it's all going down,
The mayor says he wants our town.
But it's all going down,
The mayor says he wants our town.
Cuz someday-
We'll be going home to find we don't have any home at all
Anyday-
They'll section off our block with riot gear and come evict us all
Today-
The lower east side is yuppified with fat cats and their poor folk hide
Someday-
Maybe we will re-emerge from east river a turning tide
Avenue by avenue we'll take back everything we knew
The gardens, Squats, and all our share.
We'll even take back Tompkins Square!
I've got something of a problem with the nation
It's called gentrification
Marching to our neighborhood to lock us in the station.
"We're gonna clean up the streets!"
What? so we got cleaner streets to sleep on?
aw gee, thanks a lot
I always thought,
That killing was your main plot.
Didn't know you were so damn upright about it
Sneaking in expensive stores so we won't even fight about it
Creeping up block by block, you think you're so damn right about it
You've got all the "rights" you need
the S's on the end are always dollar signs
And we can read between the lines.
Cuz someday-
We'll be going home to find we don't have any home at all

PUSHING THE POOR OFF SHORE!

Reminds me of my childhood....Met Stza and Ezra in New Orleans before a Leftover Crack when I was 15 in 2002 and one of my first punk shows i've been to....Great shit right here by Ezra...Good people and great music.
Unfortunately it's not just the l.e.s. that's being gentrified. Same shit goes on all around the world. Used to be a squatter myself in the netherlands (used to be a squatters paradise, now they outlawed squatting, up to four years imprisonment). I've seen a lot of squats get evicted. The one I used to live in still stands though. I'm a dad now, and babies don't mix well with mold and no heating. Great squatters anthem!
I love this song so much like I'm always in a good mood when I'm listening to it. I know everyone has there options but I'm just trying to state my opinion that's all.

Heard this song again 4 years later, yup, still fucking pretty great.
M$ love you brother DBH
Still great.
i guess im lucky to have one friend who listens to the same music as i do were i live. stay punk
Still my favorite
dude if you haven't checked it out, the raw version of this song "Livin With Even L.E.S." on the 2000 demo called "My last Words?" you really need too, cause it's just like this, except really uncut, and completely different lyrics. Same chorus and beat, but completely different lyrics, sick as fuck.
Fuck I miss the late 90's and early 2000's.
it was on their ep: "In Decay"
good song.
that's the best shit in the world. I use to listen to crack rock steady all days. But what's better than INDK? So sad they broke up........
some dayyyyyy!!!
The ska breakdown parts to this song are your new god.
holy i have this but this recording is 10000000 time better cuz the one on my last words is a really bad recording AMAZING POST!
photo of fetus squat burning by mike scott ' 92 thats from the cd booklet.
WHOAAAAAAAAA OHHH OHHH OHHH WHOA
You get props little man!!! This is a way to fucking live, not a fashion trend!
I wouldn't risk an assault charge getting them out of my own town.
we're not worthy
thats what makes you dude, "you don't choose punk rock, punk rock chooses you"
was Stza in this band too? I heard him sing in like 2 songs counting this one lol
2018 -
SAME........-.-
i dunno, i havent really kept up with them, i think they broke up a while ago.
once again you fucking kick ass mofesto, you always post the shit i want to hear. A.C.A.B

@Kryptochron14 you bump that stuff? weird dude. but i think i know what you mean. i like to blast it loudly personally. we must have different stereo systems.
i forgot people use to write songs like this, goddamn what happend to music?
shit dude im in new york too, albany(ish)
first video ive on youtube that did not have a dislike. i also just jinxed it.
get new friendz?
I haven't listened to this in years. Stza is not in this band. Only once ever did a guest track... How do I know? Because it's me singing in the background.... ( poorly I might add ). I am the drummer, and my new band is Public Serpents and I scream in that band.... m.facebook.com/Public-Serpents-258835280257/?ref=bookmarks

you kick so much ass, dude.
im just saying not much people my age are into punk music and stuff, everyone seems to be only into modern pop, hip hop, and emo stuff.
NYCPUNXDOITBEST
in the end it only matter if you doit for yourself, if you meet ppl along the way, thats just extra, listening to the music is enough for me, b/c without (real) punkrock i wouldnt fuckin be here
second
yeah, when they going to play again? I feel like a old ass nigga too. 9 years ago was 2001 basically.
@NYpUnk914 bullshit look at tech n9ne, immortal technique, Saul Williams, Big Lou, etc. tech n9ne probably the most talented poet ever in existence imo
i want to start a punk band but im in the same boat. no one listens to punk here
@NYpUnk914 listen to MF Doom for a change. Do yourself a favor.
