Krafty
Joy Division CrimethInc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be
But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
Isn't where you want to be
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that TV you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
This is where I want to be
And this is what I want to do
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
You know I'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (If I could change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
The lyrics in Joy Division CrimethInc's song Krafty can be interpreted as a call to escape the monotony of modern-day life, characterized by working long hours in a mundane job, driving to and from work every day, and coming home only to tune out the world through the TV. The lyrics suggest that there is more to life than this routine and that people should aspire to look at life the way it ought to be. Looking at the stars while lying under a tree, instead of through a two-foot tube, is presented as a better way to see the world. The song proposes the idea that the world is a beautiful place, and there is more to experience out there, like mountains, lakes, and the human race.
The lyrics also feature a plea for one more chance and one more day to make things right. This notion could be seen as a reflection of a feeling of regret or wanting to change one's life for the better. However, the song's overarching theme remains centered around the idea of a better life being within reach, where people do more than just earn their daily wage, watch TV, or drive to work.

@davidmoss1318
Same here.. been searching the internet for years. I was just telling my gf about this song I saw in the 2000s that I haven't heard or seen since and the only thing I remembered was it was titled crafty but I haven't thought of switching c with k 'til now.

You're not alone, bro 😂
@elenatorres-pepito2955
Why is this song not more popular? It is one of New Order's best, in my opinion. I love the lyrics and, as usual, the sound is good as well.
@andrewjensen8128
The music video is also adorable.
@lyrimetacurl0
It is my favourite New Order song (slightly better than True Faith).
