lyrics

They’ve banned pickets
And brought back rickets
You don’t need to be good at maths
To see we’re ruled by sociopaths

There’s nothing free about their enterprise
If they could own the air we’d all die
They rub their hands at wars and epidemics
They’d rent out life boats on the Titanic

Running up the down escalator
A rat trapped in a wheel

City rents
Living in tents
Too tired to fight, too scared to steal
Afraid to live, afraid to feel, afraid to feel

Running up the down escalator
A rat trapped in a wheel

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.
