lyrics

Poison in your kitchen
Blind men at the wheel
Parasites in your pockets
To invest is to steal
Down at the job centre
They’ve struck a new deal
To make you fight your neighbour
Just to get your next meal

You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil

Liars in the papers
Thieves at the banks
Racists on the radio
The rich are buying tanks
Those liars own the papers
Those thieves run the banks
The rapists on the radio
They all demand your thanks

You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil

Vampires at the blood banks
Youth is suicide
Everyone on tranquillisers
It’s the new thalidomide
Microphones have silenced you
Those cameras made you blind
History repeats itself
Fashionable genocide

You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil

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.
