get your ass back here"
"i want to come back there, but i'm fucking hanging out with knmfmdm
i can't even fucking say it"
"kmfdm are blowing themselves to hell
kmfdm are blowing themselves to hell
blowing themselves to hell
blowing themselves to hell..."
juke joint jezebel, r.u.ok?
help us save us take us away
money, power, murder, blame
ooh la la, not in my name
a drug against war, attak/reload
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
son of a gun, what do you know?
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
don't you blow your top, every day's a good day
spit sperm, back- back in the ussa
itchy bitchy, from here on out
come on/go off, dirty, kraut
disobedience, anarchy
bullets bombs and bigotry
torture, terror, bitches, boots
never say never, thank you, brute
sex on the flag, ready to blow
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
more and faster, rebels in control
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
german engineering, astounding ingenuity
29 years of conceptual continuity
viva la mort, people of the lie
no meat no man, d.i.y.
the unrestrained use of excessive force
world war iii, move on, adios
a drug against war, attak/reload
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
son of a gun, what do you know?
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche fucking mode
The lyrics to KMFDM's song "Kunst" are filled with provocative and confrontational messages. The chorus repeats the phrase "KMFDN are blowing themselves to hell" several times, perhaps suggesting that the band is self-destructive or nihilistic. The lines "juke joint jezebel, r.u.ok? help us save us take us away" highlight a sense of desperation and a desire for escape. The verses are peppered with references to violence and rebellion, with lines like "bullets bombs and bigotry" and "rebel in control" evoking a sense of anarchic power.
The chorus's reference to "kill mother fucking Depeche Mode" may seem confusing or nonsensical, but it actually relates to an ongoing feud between the two bands. In the early 1990s, KMFDM and Depeche Mode were both signed to the same record label, and KMFDM's frontman Sascha Konietzko criticized Depeche Mode's music as being "uninspired." This led to a back-and-forth between the two groups, including KMFDM's release of a song called "M.D.K." (which stood for "Murder Death Kill," a phrase from the film "Demolition Man" that Konietzko claimed was not specifically aimed at Depeche Mode, but was instead a general commentary on the music industry).
