lyrics

Pass me a vol au vent darling
This shabby chic is so delicious
A soirée at a food bank
It’s so edgy and nutritious

These canapés really are scrummy
Oh to see how the other half live, it’s so funny
Those two smelly chaps are game for a fight
Such attention to detail, oh what a night!

There’s two types of banks currently in use
Filled with tins of food, or cash-moneys profuse
The poverty gap is widening and no one seems to care
Rising cost of living, for some it’s a mare
Some are rewarded, while others find it grueling
It might be less for nice teeth and private schooling
Maybe not everyone makes top brass
But we’re all encouraged to join the parasitic class

Mind the Gap
It’s getting bigger every day
Mind the Gap
It’s getting worse in every way
Mind the Gap
You’re not invited to the buffet
Mind the Gap
But you’re expected to fucking pay

They sold you the dream, got you hooked up on that fix
Now you know no better it’s time for some new tricks
Back to the workhouse to get a crooked stoop
Got three jobs and kids paying in to the coop
No time to protest or have a moment of fun
Just binge on a box set when your day is done
Financial growth’s a disease the gap’s increasing
It’s the bottom feeders these predators are fleecing

But I adore giving to charity
It’s more than just a tax write-off
I’m as altruistic as the next man
And wash down guilt with the drinks I quaff
Don’t hate the player
Hate the game
If I didn’t take advantage
It would just be the same
And you would still have to…

Mind the Gap
It’s getting bigger every day
Mind the Gap
It’s getting worse in every way
Mind the Gap
You’re not invited to the buffet
Mind the Gap
But you’re expected to fucking pay

Listen, chums
It’s simply a matter of breeding
Everyone in their place
Is what you should be heeding
It’s long been like this
Don’t take it the wrong way
Oh, and here’s the bill
It’s for you to pay…

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.
