lyrics

Electoral fraud
And tax evasion
Outright lies
And fabrication
Backhanders to chums
Diddling the sums
Seems to me it’s a... ‘crimewave’

Broken promises
And worthless doublespeak
Once the people’s saviour
Now corruption at its peak
Expenses fraud
And arms sales abroad
Vested interests
And a chance to be a lord

Tax cuts for
the wealthy
And privatisation
that is stealthy
Failed at life
But minus the strife?
Don’t worry dear,
We’ll make you a peer

One rule for them and another for us
One rule for them and another for us
One rule for them and another for us
Expect a crimewave, expect a crimewave!
X2

They’re the real criminals
The real benefits street
We subsidise their lifestyles
Working to keep them sweet
They'd have the shirt off your back
And make you beg for your dinner
You've got the rules wrong
We can't all be a winner

Swanning and swindling and
Riding the gravy train
Getting caught makes no difference,
It's simple and plain
They're hooky, they're crooked
They're as bent as a two bob note
And all they do is grin and gloat!

When you want someone banged up
For going on a bender
But you're all out boshing coke
Top wage and big spenders
When you block legalisation
For cannabis production
But your husband owns a ganja farm
With no obstruction

We'd lose our rights,
Zero hours or benefits claim
They'd file for more expenses
'Cause they've rigged the game!

One rule for them and another for us
One rule for them and another for us
One rule for them and another for us
Expect a crimewave, expect a crimewave!
X2

So get out there and do some crimes
Obeying the law is not a sign of the times
Be dishonest, embrace corrupt
It's one-up for me, let the streets erupt
Why should we not make up our own rules
When a moral compass is clearly for fools?
We can decide what to do with our own life
No one should be surprised that crime is so rife?

One rule for them and another for us
One rule for them and another for us
One rule for them and another for us
Expect a crimewave, expect a crimewave!
X2

When you can't remember
Owning extra houses
When you can't remember
If you cheated on your spouses
When you talk about
Being guided by God
But your husband has investments
In missiles, the sod

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. ... more

Apocalipstick Blues

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 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡

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! Dylan Barry
