Yuppie scum don't only look for real estate investment opportunities in rapidly-gentrifying cities like Portland, Oregon. Yuppie scum also run the Democratic Party in Oregon who facilitate these activities by maintaining the statewide ban on rent control, as they make useless, meaningless, pseudo-sympathetic noises. • My message to these pseudo-progressive politicians is this: you are with us or against us. You're either with the tenants or you're with the developers. You either support a strict rent control program, or you are nothing but a shill for the 1%. Your choice, our revolution. • Lyrics: • Yuppie Scum • If you're not sure what you're about, but you're trying to find out • By moving from the suburbs to the city • If you're looking for a base where you might find your place • By buying and developing property • If when you see a city block your first instinct is to knock • It down and build something new • If you think it's funny to make yourself some money • Regardless of the renters that you screw • If you seek self-definition as you carry out your mission • To accumulate all the wealth you can • Then let me help you in your quest, you seekers of the west • For there's a name for people with such plans • Yuppie scum (3x) fuck off! • Yuppie scum (2x) fuck off! • If when you see a diner you think it would be finer • If the place sold tapas and sake • If you just see perfection when you look at your reflection • And you're sure we all just want to see the day • When folks like you succeed in swimming in your greed • Creating a new world in your image • If you feel some pangs of guilt about the buildings that you built • But you figure change always causes a bit of scrimmage • And besides, you rationalize, as you watch your high-rise rise • What you're doing is all within the law • You're sure these people know there are other places they can go • Just ignore the homeless families that you saw • Chorus • If you are one of those who senses where the wind blows • So you decided you should run for office • Give the poor your blessing, spread the window-dressing • Give the little babies each a kiss • Act like you really care, rearrange the deck chairs • As you watch the homeless families shiver • Make a sympathetic sound as developments abound • As you sell the working class right down the river • If you lament the situation from the comfort of your station • As you say the city's hands are tied • If you'd rather count your stocks than think outside the box • Then there is no question that you've chosen sides • Chorus • Help us caption translate this video! • http://amara.org/v/IKne/
