lyrics

Close the door
It’s a war on the poor
x12

--

Edging ever closer
to a fascist state
Removing the right to protest
Dividing us with hate
The press calls it sleaze
But it’s pure corruption
Not fit for purpose
We need an eruption
Don’t forget your papers
For our new internal borders
The ones who stand to profit
Denying our disorders
The crooked at the wheel
Driving us round the bend
We’re stuck on plague island
A call to arms we send

--

Are we too divided
to make a stand?
The glue doesn’t bind
the flames they are fanned
We’re out here
drawing lines in the sand
Can we please escape
from plague island?
Are we too divided
to make a stand?
The glue doesn’t bind
the flames they are fanned
We’re out here
drawing lines in the sand
I wanna get off plague island

--

Top of the leader board
We got a high score
Don’t watch that, watch this
A war on the poor
Contracts to your besties
Or matey next door
Bragging about statistics
As the bodies hit the floor
They robbed the public purse
With no calls for their demise
Pulling off heists
And cutting old ties
Rock the boat hard to make it capsize
“And Bully’s special prize…!”

--

Go outside
Stay indoors
Go out
Eat out
Stay outdoors
Don’t go inside
Eat someone out
Be a grass
Stay off the grass
Space face
Track and trace
You would be ill advised
To become ill with this advice
Reread the instructions
To stay informed
Reread the instructions
To stay informed
Reread the instructions
To stay informed
Reread the instructions
To stay informed

--

Are we too divided
to make a stand?
The glue doesn’t bind
the flames they are fanned
We’re out here
drawing lines in the sand
Can we please escape
from plague island?
Are we too divided
to make a stand?
The glue doesn’t bind
the flames they are fanned
We’re out here
drawing lines in the sand
I wanna get off plague island
x2

--

Close the door
It’s a war on the poor
x4

about

Killdren image

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. ... more
