Dead Kennedys - Chemical Warfare Lyrics

Chemical Waffle.

Who else was looking for slayer's chemical warfare but then stumbled on to this song.

1:55 I love the reference to Juventino Rosas song “Sobre Las Olas” aka “Over The Waves” or also known famously by Willie Nelson on his Red Headed Stranger album “O’er The Waves”.
An old traditional Mexican folk song with a waltz beat.

one of the best albums!!

Fuck golf.

...Ray’s guitar broke...

Im gonna have at it... go crazy...

*RAY'S GUITAR BROKE.*

Somebody play this at a Justin Bieber concert.

A high school band should play this.

I'm on it

Chemical warfare? I hate when that happens.

This band is AMAZING! I forgot how good they are! Phenomenal song!

HAHAhhahahAHHAhHAhahhHAhhHAh.......hahHAhHAhHAhAHhahHAhaha...mmm....yeah.. ;>

CHEMICAL WARFARE
Down at the arsenal they keep the nerve gasses. Guarded day and night by caged white rabbits. Been sitting there for years. I'm gonna have at it. I cut through the fence, run right in and grab it. Go crazy crazy crazy crazy. Now I got my mustard gas in my pocket. Climb on a tree branch and drop it. On a country club full of Saturday golfers. So I can watch them die. Choking and shaking in convulsions. Go crazy crazy crazy crazy. Chemical warfare chemical warfare chemical warfare warfare warfare. Panic in the air. See the headless chickens running. Golf carts head on crashing. Cracking heads wide open. Scratch the grass, mister, you can't breathe. And roll and writhe in a sand trap. Starting to heave. Claw those clubs, lemme see you seethe. Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy. Chemical warfare chemical warfare chemical warfare warfare warfare. Yellow air, yellow clouds. Blowing down down down the fairway. Sensitive to the touch. Moving down the putting green. Heading straight for the big club house. Where the stuffed country club effervescent ladies so carefree, relax, pose by the pool, limber, limp with a dry martini until, chemical warefare chemical warfare chemical warefare warefare warefare!

Tem coisas que nem da pra esquecer...os bispos cantam isso, hj, nos cultos religiosos. Acredita? Lembra o filme Truman, com aquele ator, Jim Carrey. Recordações, fez lembrar jerry lewis, etc.

Imagine Ed Sheeran writing a song about attacking golfers with mustard gas..

Imagine Whitney Houston and Yanni collaborating to cover this... but at like a half time feel.

Bless it

@Aleš Hafnar you do realize jello was gay right

@Business Shark was, as in isn't anymore?

I'm trying....

Quién te conoce?! Quién te conoce?! Quién te conoce?!.

Very topical track. Should be played in Syria!

Yeah play this every time Assad uses """kaemicool""" """""wuhfair""""""

@Haijezke Prasovic I got a joke for you neo commie.

syria's theme rn

excellent stuff

i LOVE that descent into cacophony near the end. lol

Punks yes! 😜👊🎧

Twisted, fun, powerful and completely unique. The carnival bit and then the chaotic ending... just brilliant stuff.

"Sobre Las Olas"

Even after twenty years I still love this song

After 30 years for me. Great song and debut album,

FRANTIC MINDS ARE TERRIF- Oh wait, wrong song.

sub to me

Classic Punk rock right here

Dat bass drop at 1:35 tho

You're aware of Darren Henley's race, aren't you?

I swear this song was in some movie or video game before. I know I heard it somewhere before, but it couldn't be from my parents or the radio.

gta lyberty city, gta vice city

No, we wont play Rawhide, we wont play anything.

Ray's guitar broke.....

Vaporwave

V a p o r w a v e

*a e s t h e t i c*

ｃｏｎｔｅｘｔ

rattling around my head for past 25  years :p BRILLIANT

they were so ahead of there time sign of a great band.....

They're one of my favorites.

Just brilliant that tune. Love dead kennedys !!! Limber up with a dry martini

Robert savage Make sure to wash it down with a Tricky Dicky Screwdriver!

Love these type of punk bands!!

Jeffery L good ones?

this album needs to be listened to from go to who. seminal punk thrash album.

I'm 16 years old, and this fucking rules!!!

How's being 21?

Yeah fr

uLTraaa It appears Scarecrow’s tastes have most certainly blackened since then.

I hope they stockpile Chemical weapons in Scotland to use against foreigners owning Golf clubs. :)

Keep Scotland White!

@Imperium Europa Nazi punks fuck off !

this is going down in syria right now. shit needs to end

WALLAH you government spook

I'm 45 and was listening to them at 16

andrewc2768 me too...I'm now 51 and listened to them since age 15

Jello channels the spirit of a lab rabbit taking revenge.

Lmao 5 years late but nice description.

The lyrics line:
"Where the stuffed country club ladies, so carefree"
should read:
"Where the stuffed country club effervescent ladies, so carefree"

one of my favourite albums

Lardo same

And I was looking for slayer. lol

to quote some unadulterated inhibited organic mofo "This Band Is Just Made Of Pure Awuesome"

I'll agree to that, I'm not much for Punk but this band is just made of pure awesome.

Slayers isn't a cover of this... there both original songs... completly unrelated

kennedys!!

I don't think I've ever laughed this hard to a song before... This is fucking genius

Oh, the ease of breaking into a chemical plant in the early 80's...

Me Gusta

@MKGellAxx Keep throwing those lables around!

...Great High Voltage music with Attitude and lyrical Messages !... Reminds me of Slam Dancing at a Punk Rock bar that we used to go to in the '70s.

@RaggaRamone DK is punk. not punk rock. punk rock is shitty shit like rise against. who are shit. punk is DK, sexpistols, ramones, subhumans, black flag, etc. get it right

@MrDoomsday666 Being more hardcore doesn't necessarily make them better. DK is unique they have an interesting surf influence and Jello's vocals are one of a kind and they produce songs that actually have melody. That being said, music is all subjective. Shit's just opinions.

Great song.

@Beatlefanforever55 nope listen to agnostic front and fucking murphys law then tell me whats more hardcore

So that's why they call themselves Dead Kennedys.

Truth truth truth Oh how I loved those days!!!!!

Truth truth truth Oh how I loved those days1

The Dead Kennedys were one of the few bands that seemed to really mix satire and music. Wish is a shame, because both are like crack to me

@Beatlefanforever55 no just jello cause he keeps it real to what hes about at least i think.the rest of the band sued jello so they suck cause they just wanted more money

at the beginning: cool :)
at the end: woah O.O

Could have a great vid, awsome lyrics!! wondering this part...LOL

Panic in the air see the headless chickens runnin'
Golf carts head on crashin' crackin' heads wide open
Scratch the grass, mister, you can't breathe
And roll and writhe in a sandtrap starting to heave
Claw those clubs, lemme see you seethe
Crazy crazy crazy crazy ...

@Beatlefanforever55 im pretty sure flipper is the best punk rock band ever

This is the song that changed my life.

I remember hearing this album for the first time in '81. I thought, "well this takes things to a new level!"

That ending is awesomely creepy. I like that.

its not right that this only has 9000 veiws

Damn great music!

Rays guitar broke

@4petelol your nuts the ending is great just like them

simpaye

simpaye

I hate the ending to this song, I always skip it :(
