A black bloc is a tactic for protests and marches whereby individuals wear black clothing, scarves, ski masks, motorcycle helmets with padding, or other face-concealing items. The clothing is used to conceal marchers' identities, allow them to appear as one large unified mass, and promote solidarity.
The tactic was developed in the 1980s in the European autonomist movement's protests against squatter evictions, nuclear power and restrictions on abortion among other things. Black blocs gained broader media attention outside Europe during the 1999 anti-WTO demonstrations, when a black bloc damaged property of GAP, Starbucks, Old Navy, and other multinational retail locations in downtown Seattle.
When used in the plural, black blocs refers to groups who have adopted the tactic.
"Hey mama. Come on, come on."
"I don't know."
"Come on, come on. This is it."
"I kinda got a boyfriend."
"No, no. This is happening. This is the time, now."
"Uh, oh, ok!"
"Alright, come on, go, go..."
You're loose
(Slip it in)
Put your brain in a noose
(Slip it in)
The next day you regret it
(Slip it in)
But, you're still loose
You say you don't want it
You don't want it
Say you don't want it
Then you slip it on in
In, in, in
You feel like a whore
(Slip it in)
But what you did the night before
(Slip it in)
You decided to be all loose
(Slip it in)
And go all crazy
You say you don't want it
You don't want it
Say you don't want it
But then you slip it on in
In, yeah
You slip it in (x2)
You say you didn't think
(Slip it in)
You said you had too much to drink
(Slip it in)
Is it in the chemical?
(Slip it in)
Or is it just some part of you?
You say you don't want it
You don't want it
Say you don't want it
But then you slip it on in
In, in, in
You regret how you felt
(Slip it in)
You felt it
(Slip it in)
You decided to be all loose
(Slip it in)
It's what you choose
You say you don't want it
You don't want it
Say you don't want it
But then you slip it on in
You slip it in (x2)
Alright! Hey! Hey!
You say you got a boyfriend
(Slip it in)
But you're hinting at my friends
(Slip it in)
And everybody else's friend
(Slip it in)
You're not loose, you're wide open
And you say you don't want it
You don't want it
Say you don't want it
Then you slip it on in
In, in, in
You're getting around
(Slip it in)
I'm not putting it down
(Slip it in)
It's just what it is
(Slip it in)
Getting it while it's around
You say you don't want it
You don't want it
You don't want it
But then you slip it on in
In, in, in
You slip it in (x2)
