Lyrics
Wa-ching That's the sound of the sword going in Clack-clack, clack-a-clang clang That's the sound of the gun going bang-bang Tukka-tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk-tukka That's the sound of the drone button pusher Shh, shh, shh That's the sound of the children taker Ah (ah) Ah (ah) Ah (ah) Ah (ah) This means war Anti-war War This means war Anti-war Anti-war Send Sally to the sandbox, baby Send Johnny in to open fire Send Sally to the sandbox, baby We're dying for the stone-faced lies Send Johnny to the sandbox, baby Send Sally into open fire Send Johnny to the sandbox, baby We're dying for the stone-faced lies We're all going straight to hell

IDLES release a new version of 'POP POP POP' featuring Danny Brown after their Glastonbury collaboration.
While yeah, they do lay it on thick, they also lay it on well.
It marks IDLES' second appearance on CBeebies in recent months.
They're mashing it up with Peaches' 'Fuck The Pain Away' and The Chemical Brothers' 'Elektrobank'.
New album 'TANGK' came out earlier this year.
With ‘TANGK’, IDLES are redefining the punk ethos for a new era
New album 'TANGK' is set to drop this Friday (16th February)
The single is from their new album 'TANGK'.
The dates are in support of their new album 'TANGK'.
They've also shared new single 'Dancer',
It comes after the band received two GRAMMY nominations for their fourth album, 'Crawler'.
The band shared a new ‘making of’ video giving fans an inside glimpse into the recording sessions with producer Kenny Beats.
The 5th-anniversary rerelease will arrive on December 9th via Partisan Records.
The ‘Dance Fever’ LP was originally released in May via Polydor Records.
“‘Come On Down’ was originally recorded during the Atlas Vending sessions but never fully finished,” METZ’s Alex Edkins explains.
The band are about to play Boardmasters and APE.
The tickets will be available via a prize draw that costs £10 to enter.
Their last album saw them take off in a way no one expected - so what’s next for IDLES? The band have a sit down just before the release of their (now) No.1 album, 'Ultra Mono'.
Idles understand that sometimes it feels as though everything’s in the shitter, but they’re going to try their best to make a difference anyway - and you can too.
