lyrics

Stooges of the state
With no say in the proceedings
Start with good intentions
Then leave suspects with bleedings
Dial 1312 for murder
Dial 1312 for murder
“I’m just doing my job” they say
Persecuting people for some pay
Dial 1312 for murder
Dial 1312 for murder

What is a legitimised use of force?
The odds are stacked against us, the problem lies at source
Classist targets and racial profiling
Low-income felons they are stockpiling
Protecting private property? Let’s get it straight
They won’t protect communities, just gated estates
But if there’s a demo or a fox hunt to protect
They’ll appear in droves, live and direct
Stooges of the state
With no say in the proceedings
Start with good intentions
Then leave suspects with bleedings
Dial 1312 for murder
Dial 1312 for murder
“I’m just doing my job” they say
Persecuting people for some pay
Dial 1312 for murder
Dial 1312 for murder
Always nabbing protestors or anti-fascists
Supporting the far-right whenever there’s clashes
Protecting the rights of bankers to exploit and skim
Protesting an injustice? You’ll be out on a limb
They’re just not here to serve normal folk
200 years plus, it’s a long running joke
Get yourself a real job lads and lasses
Instead of being a traitor to your classes

Stooges of the state
With no say in the proceedings
Start with good intentions
Then leave suspects with bleedings
Dial 1312 for murder
Dial 1312 for murder
“I’m just doing my job” they say
Persecuting people for some pay
Dial 1312 for murder
Dial 1312 for murder
They say it’s policing by consent
Harassing people in order to pay their rent
Cops only have power because we say so
They’ll answer to us at the end of the day so
Don’t obey orders above your own ethics
Groveling to our leaders, it’s pathetic
Legality is not a guide for morality
Let’s learn from our history, adjust our mentality

Keep your eyes peeled, for the Peelers
The world’s longest running gang, putting out feelers
Here the private police force has strong roots
Soon you’ll answer to G4S and Serco’s boots
The fuzz are just puppets of the ruling elite
Protecting property first before people on their beat
If we stand together us they won’t defeat
So let’s clean up the filth off the streets

about

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.
