Thou Shalt Always Kill Lyrics

[Verse 1: Scroobius Pip]
Thou shalt not steal if there is a direct victim
Thou shalt not worship pop idols or follow lost prophets
Thou shalt not take the names of Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer, Johnny Hartman, Desmond Dekker, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix or Syd Barrett in vain
Thou shalt not think any male over the age of thirty that plays with a child that is not their own is a paedophile; some people are just nice
Thou shalt not read NME
Thou shalt not stop liking a band just because they've become popular
Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry
Thou shalt not judge a book by its cover
Thou shalt not judge Lethal Weapon by Danny Glover
Thou shalt not buy Coca-Cola products
Thou shalt not buy Nestlé products

Thou shalt not go into the woods with your boyfriend's best friend, take drugs, and cheat on him
Thou shalt not fall in love so easily
Thou shalt not use poetry, art, or music to get into girls' pants... use it to get into their heads
Thou shalt not watch Hollyoaks
Thou shalt not attend an open mic and leave as soon as you've done your shitty little poem or song, you self-righteous prick!
Thou shalt not return to the same club or bar week-in, week-out, just 'cause you once saw a girl there that you fancied that you're never gonna fucking talk to anyway
Thou shalt not put musicians and recording artists on ridiculous pedestals, no matter how great they are or were

[Verse 2: Scroobius Pip]
The Beatles were just a band
Led Zeppelin, just a band
The Beach Boys, just a band
The Sex Pistols, just a band
The Clash, just a band
Crass, just a band
Minor Threat, just a band
The Cure, just a band
The Smiths, just a band
Nirvana, just a band
The Pixies, just a band
Oasis, just a band
Radiohead, just a band
Bloc Party, just a band
The Arctic Monkeys, just a band
"The next big thing", just a band

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
