lyrics

You lose your friends and your family
The ones that tell you that you’re all you need to be
You lose yourself in what you find to be right
You blunt your teeth on what you fight

You tilt at windmills, you strike at your heart
To jam the treadmill, to upend the apple cart
Bash the bosses, damn the cost
Kill the victors now, bless the lost

Left with nothing now, you’re alone
You beg for favours, you beg for home
You curse your own complicity
As you lose identity

You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead

about

Crisis London, UK

After almost 40 years, punk-rock originals Crisis are back. Crisis’s “songs to march to” once again resonate with audiences both new and old. Their anti-fascist, anti-racist message is still very much relevant in the current Western political climate, as it was at the end of 1970s.
Tony Wakeford: bass.
Clive Giblin: Guitar.
Lloyd James: vocals.
Aurora Lee: drums.
