Blood Runs Blue

The original dirty squatters
Who snatched up all the land
Protected by an army
Forged under their command
These parasitical vermin
Continue to hog the news
A right royal distraction
A very convenient ruse
The monarchy still oversee
The Church of Eng-er-land
And sign off all our laws
The grip never left their hand
It’s falsely said we severed
The church from the state
How about we put
Queenie’s head on a plate
Cut them down in two
See if their blood runs blue
Laffs aplenty when we run them through
To see if their blood runs blue
Cut them down in two
See if their blood runs blue
Oh lord, what a to-do
Squeeze the leeches and the blood runs blue
These lovable rogues
With their nationalist roots
PR mishaps
and Nazi salutes
They rampaged
All across the globe
Slipping Jewels and relics
Under their robes
Whilst sitting in
gold-encrusted finery
They issue decree
Over gourmet food and winery
And have the cheek to say
We should live within our means
When half the government
Are cousins of the Queen
I’m talking Cameron, Osborne, Johnson, Hunt
All related to that Lizzie
Fast forward the Republic
‘Cos it’s time to get busy!
Cut them down in two
See if their blood runs blue
Laffs aplenty when we run them through
To see if their blood runs blue
Cut them down in two
See if their blood runs blue
Oh lord, what a to-do
Squeeze the leeches and the blood runs blue
Come on now people
Dig deep, dig deep
This lovely pair of specimens
Need a handout for a hand up
Yes, a few pounds ladies and gents
A few mere sheckles
Can buy them the household essentials of a yacht
Think of how hard life will be without that yacht
It’s our duty, as loyal subjects
To chip in for the upkeep of this tired, dated and incestuous tradition
They’re everyone’s favourite Establishment pin-ups
But think of a Britain without the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family
They’re as British as rain and binge drinking
But it does make one wonder…
If we cut them down in two...
Will their blood… run blue?!
Get with the programme
And squeeze these leeches
Televise Liz’s death
Instead of her speeches
Let’s rid ourselves
Of these parasites
Their last breath
As a tourist site
Stick the palaces on Air BnB
You pay for the week, but the first night’s free
Nobody likes a scrounger
We learnt that from the media
Evict them from our land
Now just an entry on Wikipedia
Stick their heads on pikes
And run them through with arrows
Drag them through the Mall
And hang them from the gallows
Stick their heads on pikes
And run them through with arrows
Drag them through the Mall
And hang them from the gallows!
Cut them down in two
See if their blood runs blue
Laffs aplenty when we run them through
To see if their blood runs blue
Cut them down in two
See if their blood runs blue
Oh lord, what a to-do
Squeeze the leeches and the blood runs blue

Need To Crash

We want where you’re living
(We’ve been here for the duration)
The area has so much potential
(Homes aren’t for speculation)
Look, we’ll pay you money
(We got enough to get by)
Then we will force it upon you!
(What?! I’d like to see you try!)
You want to live here
But we already live here
x3
Our homes are not for sale
Your plans we must derail!
You want us to move out
But we don’t wanna move out
x3
Home aren’t a commodity
We’ll fight for our community!
They say everyone has a price tag
Money buys what you can’t blag
If you got the cash, we’ve got a stash
At what price, the price, a nice price
We need another CRASH CRASH CRASH
The housing market SMASH SMASH SMASH
We need a system CRASH CRASH CRASH
Financial elite SMASH SMASH SMASH
We need another CRASH CRASH CRASH
Economic bubble SMASH SMASH SMASH
We need a system CRASH CRASH CRASH
Profiteering we must SMASH SMASH SMASH
It began with the enclosures enforced by armed hands
Taking away the commons and leaving people without land
Trickle down economics is just a trickle of piss
There is no justice in a world where billionaires exist
Homes are a right, not a thing to be gambled
Move the decimal point, your values get scrambled
Wannabe landlords and profiteers beware
We wanna turn your dream into a nightmare
Brexit or break shit
Brexit or break shit
Brexit, break shit
Breakshit, break shit!

This time we don’t bail out the bankers
No no we don’t bail out the bankers
And no we won’t bail out the bankers
Fuck the bankers, fuck the fucking bankers!
Fuck the bankers
Fuck the fucking bankers!

Brexit or break shit

If Only You Cared

We’re all wrapped up in cotton wool
Don’t talk to me I got blinds to pull
Not much of a reader, only get to Page 3
Beyond that for me, there’s nothing to see
Show me fame or show me money
Don’t care about bees, just want the fucking honey
Why rock the boat, don’t look for trouble
Leave me be, I’m happy in my bubble
If only you cared about the welfare system
Like you care about your personal fitness programme
If only you cared about your local community
Like you care about your Instagram followers
If only you cared about workers rights
Like you care about getting that promotion
I mean… you’re not getting a promotion
Face it – you’re shit at your job mate
If only you cared x8
If only you cared about our liberation
Like you care about our push-up bras
If only you cared about freedom of movement
Like you care about staring at your smart phone
If only you cared about the wars we go to
Like you care about getting to the party
We kill our energy getting wasted
Get us another drink from the bar mate
I see you, but you don’t see me
You’re so self-obsessed you’re practically blind
I see you, but you don’t see me
It’s all about you, isn’t it? It’s all about you…
x2
If only you cared about the poor
Like you care about fucking football
If only you cared about the sick
Like you care about fucking tennis
If only you cared about the elderly
Like you care about fucking cricket
I mean… it’s fucking cricket!
Come on – sort it out lad
If only you cared about melting ice caps
Like you care about the latest gadgets
If only you cared about food poverty
Like you care about gourmet dining
If only you cared about anything worthwhile
Like you care about vacuous celebrities
I mean… fucking bullshit arse-crack celebrities!
Come on – sort your fucking priorities out!
If only you cared x7
Why don’t you fucking care?
I see you, but you don’t see me
You’re so self-obsessed you’re practically blind
I see you, but you don’t see me
It’s all about you, isn’t it? It’s all about you…

Still those thoughts
Inside your head
Stray too far
And you’ll wake up dead x3
Still those thoughts
Inside your head
Don’t stray too far…
You will do what you are told (Yes, master)
You will do as I say not as I do (Yes, master)
You will keep schtum when Mummy says (Yes, master)
You will have fun only when it suits me (Yes, master)
We will train you to be our pet (Yes, master)
You will learn only what we want you to know (Yes, master)
You will be made to age before your time (Yes, master)
You will grow to know your place (Yes, master)
Listen up son, it’s best to you know your place
We’ve done the maths and predefined your space
That box might seem tight but we’ll make it fit
Have you through hoops, and tell you when to shit
Here's your social contract – just sign it
Take a misstep, we’ll be sure to realign it
Follow the regs, we’ve made it child’s play
Keep off the grass, don’t stray from the pathway
You will know I’m the boss round here (Yes, master)
You will be grateful for this job (Yes, master)
You will always put the company first (Yes, master)
You could be management material (Yes, master)
Still those thoughts
Inside your head
Stray too far
And you’ll wake up dead x3
Still those thoughts
Inside your head
Don’t stray too far…
You will not question my authority (Yes, master)
You will respect the letter of the law (Yes, master)
You will never step out of line (Yes, master)
You will receive orders from above (Yes, master)
Do as I say
Yes master

Hypocrites
04:43

Inside every one of you out there
Is a hypocrite in need of an embrace
Leave the guilt for the Catholics
And put a smile upon that face
There’s no ethical consumption
Under late capitalism
And we are all in the top 10%
The cancer causing the schism
It’s OK to be a hypocrite
As long as you’re still fucking angry
x4
We just sit around writing stupid songs
Ranting about the world and shouting of its wrongs
Couldn’t we be out doing something better
Taking direct action not just pen to letter?
How can we justify our existence
Treading along the path of least resistance
How can we look at ourselves in the mirror
As each day the apocalypse grows nearer
What a load of hypocrites x8
It’s OK to be a hypocrite x4
It’s OK to be a hypocrite
As long as you’re still fucking angry
x2
What we need are sustainable solutions
And not just shifting the mess
But whilst moving forward
It’s not you who should stress
Those who pull the strings
Need to make the first move
Reassign the resources
For this world to improve
We’ve made this shit on an Apple computer
Giving money to cunts to shove up their hooter
Little kids in foreign lands
Mining minerals with their bare hands
Making our trainers and clothes that are cheap
People’s lives tossed on the world’s scrap heap
I must be fixing things with my vegan diet
I’m living so pure if only everyone would try it
Killdren are a bunch of wankers
Killdren are hypocrites x4
It’s OK to be a hypocrite
As long as you’re still fucking angry x4
We are all a bunch of wankers
We are all hypocrites x4

Killdren Royal Tunbridge Wells, UK
Killdren are a two-bit rave-punk band with a smelly attitude who hail from Tunbridge
Wells.
Sitting uneasily between straight-up nihilism and fresh-faced naivety,
Killdren pen politically charged slapstick anthems.
They form the ideal soundtrack to the worst generation in history.

Apocalipstick Blues
by Efa Supertramp
supported by 27 fans who also own “Disguise the Limit”
Beautiful, powerful and sincere revolution songs. And we need more of those in this day and age. I love the vocals, reminds me of young Brody Dalle but more vivid and more anarchist. Catchy songs mixed with heart-tearing emotions. This will uplift your fighting spirit. <3

Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life
by Bob Vylan
supported by 15 fans who also own “Disguise the Limit”
I can safely say I've never been this excited over a piece of plastic in my entire life! This is awesome! It's impossible to pick a favourite when every track is a banger. The lyrics are on point and delivered with an acerbic wit and passion that leaves me in no doubt that they're spoken from the heart. I need more of this in my life!
