TORTURE DOGS
Torture dogs are back
barking near my bed
barking in my head
howling all night long
fascist dogs are back
shitting on my path
pissing on my door
snarling at my back
Here is my advice
I will tell you only once,
I mean I' ll tell you twice
rinse with a shot and go (3X)
Police dogs are back
stinking up my room
snapping at my legs
snarling at my back
Here is my advice
I will tell you only once,
I mean I' ll tell you twice
rinse with a shot and go (3X)

TOO FAR GONE
Once there was life - schools and houses and now rubble - names on stones
ghosts of cities - drones and bombs
walls and cages - refugees
where’ s the love? where’ s the conscience? in the comfort - of our sleep?
all this talk - about democracy
hides the reason why we fight yet another war
Having choice is - an illusion
if your voice - just does not count
the same writers - of the same words lies and empty - promises
Walls and fences - won’ t stop people
who are running from a war
while young soldiers - strap their boots on have no reason to go fight yet
another war
are we too far gone? are we too far gone? are we blind? resigned, and numb,
again?

Revolution and Crime

*REVOLUTION AND CRIME*
From North Dakota to Azerbaijan
people stand to defend their land
Poisoned the water poisoned the air
dissent will get you thrown into jail
Rainforests destroyed for cattle and soy
wildlife gets slaughtered the snake uncoils
Poisoned the seeds poisoned the farms
the lands invaded with money and arms
Teargas and beatings
the camps assaulted
folks get arrested forced into jails
yet people keep coming
to defend their land
Hands off the land no digging for pipes
no mining for coal no fracking for oil!
Abuse is parent to revolution
to revolution and crime
Teargas and beatings
the camps assaulted
folks get arrested forced into jails
yet people keep coming
to defend their land
Open the cages empty the prisons
light up the fire in every street
Abuse is parent to revolution
to revolution and crime

End of the Welfare State

END OF THE WELFARE STATE (Livia' s version)
I declare:
The end of the welfare state
It's the end of welfare state
All you lazy bones gonna move your ass
(Gotta) move somewhere else
Jobless, crippled,
All them sick folks
All them lazy bones gonna move their ass
It’s time to pay your bills
You lost your job
Can't pay your rent
There' s no room for you
Move out, get out, no home for you
Daddy is always drunk
Sister’ s high on drugs
You just got out of jail
And mama just gets fat
Laid off? beat it!
Homeless? Piss off!
(All of you) Freeloaders gonna pay your dues
It's the end of the welfare state
It's the end of the welfare state
I declare the end of the welfare state
It's the end of welfare state
All you lazy bones gonna move your ass
(Gotta) move somewhere else

Slanted Houses

SLANTED HOUSES
Some houses are not built like others
Some houses ain' t just straight like others
and can' t count on a solid foundation
They have crooked walls and a sloping floor
They seem on the verge of falling down
Some houses seem built for no purpose
Some houses are just not inviting
You wonder how could they still be standing
they have crooked windows and slanted doors
They seem on the verge of falling down
Life in these houses just doesn' t feel safe
Some houses don' t have a good mother
Can' t count on a respected father
Some children can' t rely on wise teachings
All they got is a leaking roofs and uneven floors
They seem on the verge of falling apart
Life in their home just doesn’t feel safe

DRY THROAT BLUES
I Hope you’ ll join me for the last drink tonight,
people here laugh at me,
fancy clothes dressing foolish minds
You’re so different from them
Cars look like toys, crowds move like a herd
just a bad scene, from some crazy play
but pretty soon all the lights will be out
You’re so different from them
I Hope you’ ll join me for the last drink tonight
I’m looking for someone to help me quench my thirst
Sitting at the counter, waiting for you
I had to drink my whisky and yours
All night long, all night long
All night long, all night long
I Hope you’ ll join me for the last drink tonight
My head is burning and my throat is still dry
Please bring me something to quench my thirst
I’ve spent too many nights drinking alone.

SAMIR’ S LETTER
Please do not die, don’ t die my love
I’ ve almost done it, I’ m almost there
and after months and days of travel
I’m now in Libia and soon will go
What I have done was for survival
I pray Allah to keep me safe
And if I live I swear to you love
to find some work, so you’ ll join me
If you will read my letter, darling
it means that I’m alive and well
It means I’m well and we have a future
I love you dear, I’m forever yours
20 years old Samir from Egypt
Sicilian shores received him dead
His words were sealed in love and plastic
remained forever on his chest
If you will read my letter, darling
it means that I’m alive and well
It means I’m well and we have a future
I love you dear, I’m forever yours

FIRE’ S GONNA BURN YOU
Who’ s the stranger on the floor?
Will he vanished if ignored?
Nice clean office, nice clean store
Bad guys will knock down your door!
Voices yelling
Feet are stomping
Fire’ s gonna burn you
Fire’ s gonna burn you
what the hell you’ re asking for?
Bigger, better, always more
Sure was good after the war
Tell me, what do you stand for?

Dirty Trainload Bari, Italy
We play the blues the way we want and feel to: it’s all about Blues and Anarchy. The line-up features the multi-
instrumentalist and singer Livia Monteleone and the drummer Balzano; I'm Bob Cillo, I play guitar, sing and manage rhythm loops.
We refuse to be called an "emerging band": we are a definitely submerged band.
We are in it only to deliver an unsolicited trainload of dissident blues!
