The Song: My Lord of the Chetknik (based on 'Dookie' by Green Day)

I wrote this song after reading articles on the Chetniks and the Voivoides (written by a former eradica.wordpress.com author), so credit to Conchobar (wherever he is) for providing the inspiration for this song.



Chetnik voivodes Micko Krstić and Jovan Dovezenski circa 1905.

When the government doesn't care about your welfare then turn to people who you can trust.  This applies to first world countries as much as second or third world ones.  For instance during the 2011 London Riots some of the citizens grouped together to defend themselves because the police wouldn't help.  The police, who have riot gear and water cannons for attacking peaceful white protestors, didn't give a shit about non-whites looting and burning the capital city.  While police in small towns or rural environments might behave differently - more just and even handedly, it seems like police from metropolitan areas are more oriented towards poltitical than justice.

Play the song in the video above and sing along using the lyrics below.

# My Lord of the Chetknik #

I am a peasant in a village that is occupied.

We've been occupied for 'bout three years or more.

There is nothing that we can do,

About the verminous invaders who,

Invaded our town and stole our food,

and fucked our women.

Here's my Lord of the Chetnik,

To call on me to help him kick,

These fucking invaders off our land.

And give them shit.

These invaders take liberties with fucking everything,

And yet there is nothing that we can do.

Because we have no firearms.

Guns were banned by the government.

So here we are with no fire-arms,

And unable to fight back.

Here's my Lord of the Chetnik,

To call on me to help him kick,

These fucking invaders off our land.

And give them shit.

Heroes of our mighty nation.

Are the Chetniks no question.

How long till we see the destruction,

Of the invader nation?

I sit around and watch the tube but no ones coming,

to save our village from the invaders.

Our government doesn't give a shit,

About its citizens it should protect.

When we have no-one to protect we should turn to the Chetniks.

Here's my Lord of the Chetnik,

To call on me to help him kick,

These fucking invaders off our land.

And restore our mighty nation.

Here's my Lord of the Chetnik,

To call on me to help him kick,

These fucking invaders off our land.

And give them shit.
