Sergeant Slaughter (05): "You've got no right" [REMASTERED]

A song with lyrics by Nils Tietgen. A cry of resistance against power and control. It comes from a January 4, 1990, rehearsal of the Kiel, West Germany, punk band Sergeant Slaughter, held in the basement machine shop of a youth center. Recorded on a primitive 1989 Sony Walkman (portable cassette player) using its built-in microphones. This version was remastered in July, 2025. The result is still far from perfect, but considering the quality of the source recording, it's a great improvement. You can hear the unremastered version of this song here: https://youtu.be/x0ZcJBcDsvM Nils Tietgen (guitar and vocals), Scott Sadowsky (bass), Ted Fröhlich † (drums).

What right have you got, what right have you got, what right have you got to rule me? What right have you got, what right have you got, what right have you got to rule? What right have you got, what right have you got, what right have you got to rule me now? What right have you got to rule me if you lose the fight against your fat? If you can't control yourself, how can you control me? CHORUS What right have you got to rule me? Are you so wise as a god that you know better than ourselves what is good and bad for me? NO! ...
