killdren - dial 1312 for murder lyrics

[intro]
1… 3… 1… 2…
1… 3… 1… 2…
“there’s been a murder…”

“you’re just as free as the leash you’re on. you tug it too hard, they’ll hang you by it…”

[chorus]
stooges of the state
with no say in the proceedings
start with good intentions
then leave suspects with bleedings
dial 1312 for murder
dial 1312 for murder

“i’m just doing my job” they say
persecuting people for some pay
dial 1312 for murder
dial 1312 for (“murder”)

[verse 1]
what is a legitimised use of force?
the odds are stacked against us, the problem lies at source
classist targets and racial profiling
low+income felons they are stockpiling
protecting private property? let’s get it straight
they won’t protect communities, just gated estates
but if there’s a demo or a fox hunt to protect
they’ll appear in droves, live and direct!
[chorus]
stooges of the state
with no say in the proceedings
start with good intentions
then leave suspects with bleedings
dial 1312 for murder
dial 1312 for murder

“i’m just doing my job” they say
persecuting people for some pay
dial 1312 for murder
dial 1312 for (“murder”)

[verse 2]
always nabbing protestors or anti+fascists
supporting the far+right whenever there’s clashes
protecting the rights of bankers to exploit and skim
protesting an injustice? you’ll be out on a limb
they’re just not here to serve normal folk
two hundred years plus, it’s a long running joke
get yourself a real job lads and lasses
instead of being a traitor to your classes

[bridge – album version]
“lovely music – for a murder…”
1… 3… 1… 2…

“there’s been a murder…”

[bridge – video version]
“look how f+cking many are defending this k!ller’s house… look how f+cking many are defending this k!ller’s house!… look how f+cking many are defending this k!ller’s house!…”

1… 3… 1… 2…

“all the cops are getting teargassed right now – by their own teargas.”

[chorus]
stooges of the state
with no say in the proceedings
start with good intentions
then leave suspects with bleedings
dial 1312 for murder
dial 1312 for murder

“i’m just doing my job” they say
persecuting people for some pay
dial 1312 for murder
dial 1312 for murder! (“murder”)

[verse 3]
they say it’s policing by consent
harassing people in order to pay their rent
cops only have power because we say so
they’ll answer to us at the end of the day so
don’t obey orders above your own ethics
groveling to our leaders, it’s pathetic
legality is not a guide for morality
let’s learn from our history, adjust our mentality
[bridge – album version]
“you’re just as free as the leash you’re on. you tug it too hard, they’ll hang you by it…”

“there’s been a murder…”

[bridge – video version]
(+rowdy crowd noises and sirens.+)

“there’s been a murder…”

[outro]
keep your eyes peeled, for the peelers
(1… 3…)
the world’s longest running gang, putting out feelers
(1… 2…)
here the private police force has strong roots
(1… 3…)
soon you’ll answer to g4s and serco’s boots
(1… 2…)
the fuzz are just puppets of the ruling elite
(1… 3…)
protecting property first before people on their beat
(1… 2…)
if we stand together us they won’t defeat
(1… 3…)
so let’s clean up the filth off the streets
(1… 2…)
