About the Artist

Killing Joke

Killing Joke

Lyrics

Exit

Oh! Hello!

Hoh!

Ah...!

Noise turns darker, the moments pass

But the drums keep thundering in familiar way

Outside the legions multiply

By and by - you're still alive

(Hello! Oh...!)

Getting nowhere - can't find no way

'Cause ego, ego taking the fame

Discord dances, discord earth

Harvest thanks didn't go quite right

(Hello! Oh...!)

Think again!

Oh...!

Noise turns darker, the moments pass

But the drums keep thundering in familiar way

Outside the legions multiply

By and by - are still alive

(Woo!)

(Aw)
