this is a story about a bulldozer:

make way make way . coming through
oh is that yours?

GIRL: it took my home and my brother away from me
DRIVER 1:
fuck your house fuck your land fuck your rules fuck your laws BULLDOZER
fuck your crew, fuck your view, fuck your rights, your family too, BULLDOZER

here we come, we barreling through
like a megaton monster demolishing who what when why
this joy so fly, fortified and strengthen by my political ties
"you lyin!" shit you can't run can't hide! "you can do that shit?"
when you got the backing that you need? "sweet!" and we shall proceed.
and continue, to to knock down your wife, run over your kids, grandma's crib
i take it i want it and when it's demolished it's mine
i love my bulldozer i keep it polished and shined
a dirty earth mover put your house in the sea
buy one and get the hat shirt and calendar free

fuck your house fuck your land fuck your rules fuck your laws BULLDOZER
fuck your crew, fuck your view, fuck your rights, your family too, BULLDOZER

DRIVER 2:
HEY! get out of the way. everybody knows peace is gay so
HEY! get out of the way. we got so much to move today
from the highest mountains, down to sea, there ain't no running from this army
we got democracy and theocracy once again in perfect harmony
so here we stand the chosen man bulldozing chosen land what you grow we blow to sand
some may call it a crusade but we can't see any other way
so drop your things, drop your dreams don't stop to think ALL EARS
can't you hear that freedom ring?
(ding ding) here we come i'm armed and backed bipartisan with god on our side making guns this bulldozing is so damn fun
so, make way we're coming through and there ain't a damn thing you can do
i got a 100 tons to your 100 pounds and 300 to 1 you're going down so.
run away what you got to say cause everybody knows that peace is gay
just run run away to the sand to play cause no matter what you say we're here to stay so .

fuck your house fuck your land fuck your rules fuck your laws BULLDOZER
fuck your crew, fuck your view, fuck your rights, your family too, BULLDOZER

oh no here they come!
gun shots aiming at my dome, these goddam tanks won't leave me alone
it's like everywhere i'm seeing the chrome
got to fight a tank with a shank and a stone
and if it's on then it's on and it's on
my mama always said why you act so grown
but mama i've been up in these streets all alone
trying to stop the bulldozers running over my home
mama get dressed when they come it's on
on a late night trying to take our crib we gone
don't worry about your baby boy trust i'm grown
if the boys rush the spot they might get blown

fee fi foo fum i smell blood of a homeless man
we fight for fun, keep these families on the run

BULLDOZER! that's how we do it!
i want to give a big shout out to the government for giving me the ability to do this
and a big shout out to freedom and liberty, and the freedom to bulldoze
i don't think anybody else can do this and i thank you




thank you everyone for giving me everything that's yours, i appreciate it
god bless, goodnight

Overall Meaning

The song "Bulldozer" by Goldishack Guerrillas explicitly discusses the issue of illegal land grabbing and unjust displacement of people from their homes. The song starts with the sound of a bulldozer and the conversation between the bulldozer drivers and a girl survivor who lost her home and brother due to the destruction caused by the bulldozer. The first driver's lyrics express his disregard for rules and laws and his pride in the destruction caused by the bulldozer. He considers it a symbol of power and uses it to grab land and demolish homes. The second driver's lyrics reveal his blind obedience to authority and his perception of the destruction by the bulldozer as a part of a mission to establish democracy and theocracy.


The song also touches upon the apathy and inaction of the international community and media towards the issue. snippets from the BBC and Rachel Corrie, an American activist who was killed in Palestine while protesting against the destruction of homes, is included in the cast. The song ends with a sarcastic thank you note to the government, freedom and liberty for giving the drivers the ability to commit such injustice towards people.


Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the issue of illegal land grabbing, the destruction of homes, and the loss of lives that are caused by it. It denounces the perpetrators of such acts and highlights the larger political and social structures that enable and allow such acts to take place.
