Crass - Securicor

[communistfun]

OH GOD YES THEY CARE!

[Rigsbymortisful]

have you ever noticed that guy requesting (well DEMANDING) this tune on the live album?

"securicor!" "securicor!" he shouts between songs. when that doesnt work he yells in exasperation "securiFUCKINGcor!!!"

hes nearly as famous as the disgruntled folkie calling Bob Dylan "Judas" for playing electric guitar in Manchester in 1966 or the strange N York punter repeatedly shouting "Tell 'em!" at Sid Vicious on Sid Sings.

[nu2205e]

@Rigsbymortisful securiFUCKINcor yes! couldnt agree more--- legend

[epicureus314159]

did you really dance to this it was, well, if i had a big brotheR, it would be his generation; slightly before me i guess. must have been great times.

[punkestamuerto]

Me recuerda a la empresa llamada "Seguricorp" aca en $hile

[mediattackrecords]

ha ha ha one of their better mockery songs now that i think about it

[FokkerTISM2]

Reminds me of Scanners.

[pattycat100567]

[d15607]

So is Securicor like the SPG?

[communistfun]

PRIVATE!!!! yes sir?

[FissionNonStop]

securicor fucks the shit out of you

[parapoly]

securicor loses prisoners. don't any of you remember that venture.

[SimplePsiBin]

Haaaa brilliant I forgot this masterpiece existed , keep on serving ~ the rich .

[noobishdumbberry]

@AnarchoAlan I love you.

[parapoly]

securicor sucks

[SidGingerThree]

I fuckin' love this song. Excellent band too!

[bluenail90]

Hi Nogbad

[dildomerchant]

i am crass and proud, fuck all systems, cheers.

[TheShadeauPerez]

Fuck da police!, Crass!!!!!!!!!!!

[phildread]

G4S also deliver methadone to users in the UK. what a farce ! someone is getting huge back - handers !

[stevo1fresh]

securicor isnt a private army. this band is grossly misinformed. they drive money trucks.. lol

[guyofmetal]

@stevo1fresh I don't think they literally mean that they are an army of sorts, but those guys have such a god complex, it's disgusting. They care about doing their job and not helping out where it is needed. Just a little bit of power can corrupt someone. But whatever, Crass rules...

[stevo1fresh]

@guyofmetal I work for group 4 securicor in canada, the guards that actually do develop a god complex end up getting canned more often than not. The people that actually do their job properly don't get recognized enough to nullify the negative attention we get from idiots.

[lukeshall]

i do love crass, but anarchy is bollocks, cant get rid of the bloody tattoos tho! ah well they still look cool haha

[LustForHate]

pop "punk" played by hippies.

[guyofmetal]

@LustForHate Punk is hippies

[BPCpresents]

I love a man in uniform. 

[GriefTourist]

great version of this on the new remastered feeding of the 5000, demo version

[agonaces]

The allure of bands like crass to the American trust fund set is a result of there envy of the freedom that the working class enjoys.

[capablekel]

@tmill909 You are part of the system. Face it. I have been labeled a weird guy who doesnt fit in. I never had people who understood me, I dont want to fit in, fuck that. I live where I want, cuz i can make money, cuz i learned skills to beat the system. Crass or punk dont give a fuck about you or me. only you do. living outside is for bums,you arent a bum, go make yourself a life. crass did. you can too. nobody is taking your blood unles you let them. make me proud. go do what you want. f them

[tmill909]

@capablekel Everyone is a part of the system I agree. But unfortuately for me I ate the anarchy burger in my youth, which led me to make some very tragic mistakes(drugs, arrests, etc.) Then as I tried to pull my head out of my ass and do the right things(following the law, getting an education, gaining employment.) It seemed it was too late. So apathy creeps in and there you are a 40 yr. old punk rocker with tattoos, suicidal scars, mental instabilities, and no future. need not apply...etc.....

[capablekel]

interesting 'singing' style. amazing song

[tmill909]

NO it is the equivant of the costra nostra. the black market baby, the mafia, the crew, the system of hell, the sons of satan, the black league, the two-horned God followers, the subteranium, the underground, the scene, the fucks, the dead, the ungodly, the living dead, the vampires, the Who? whoever feeds on our blood.

[capablekel]

@tmill909 calm down, the mafia doesnt feed on our blood, neither god followers (fear), the underground, or the scene. the fucks might. but i am not sure what constitutes a fuck

[tmill909]

@capablekel then where does all of Crass' mind paranoia come from?

[capablekel]

@tmill909 well, i might regret saying this, but most crass fans i know arent exactly well educated. i understand refusing the system and blaming the only system we have for all the problems, but its irresponsible to ignore all the beauty and good it has created. Nothing wrong with dropping out, moving to a farm and hating war. I agree. But if you want to change the system you become part of it, then you can actually affect it instead of just talking about it. what do you think?

[tmill909]

@capablekel Do you believe in the system? Well OK. I am a college educated man, and yes it is easier to affect things you are a part of. But am I not a part of the system if I live by its laws and regulations and pay taxes? I am not blaming the government for all of life's falls, only man is to blame for that. It is just that I have been labeled as a drop-out, and I know how hard it is to live outside. When you don't fit in then you are in trouble. And yes sometimes you may pay with ur blood.

[capablekel]

@tmill909 here's the deal. we essencially agree. But you're generalizing things and putting yourself in a position you aren't really in. I love CRASS; love their music, their message. Their parinoia, as you said, is not a true perception of the world. Not in 2010 America, for me. You ask me do I believe in the syatem? WHat system? WHich one? The US, The world, the UK, economic, social, class. the system voyed on by the people that changes every 2,4 years? Taxes pay for roads, for parks etc.

[Hurkmalurk12XII]

i love the bass in this song

[coshthedriver78]

great video,i work in the security industry so this makes me fucking howl.

[monicalups]

thank you for this!!

[forevertrulywicked93]

Fucking love the bass line in this.

[Securicorman]

great song

[IINebuchadnezzar]

i soo luv this song!!

[jammumu]

The Bass player is singing this. Peter Wright I think his name is.

[OverratedHumanity]

@jammumu

He sang "Sucks" and "You Pay" aswell, didn't he?

Did he just sing in those three or are there more?

[skincauldron]

@OverratedHumanity

I Believe those were the only songs Pete Wright sang on 'Feeding of the 5000'. On 'Stations' he does lead vocals on "Fun Going On", "Upright Citizen", and "Tired". On 'Christ-The Album' he sings the chorus (for lack of a better word) on "Rival Tribal Revel Rebel". And on 'Best Before' he has lead vocal on "Angela Rippon". (Those are all the Pete Wright sung tracks I can recall right now). If ya haven't heard any of these songs you should check them out. Good stuff.

[2tatic]

Is this steve Ignorant on the Vocals?

O.O no or?

i think crass had 2 female singers and only 1 male...

Can anybody tell me?

[Stenchyboxcar]

no its pete wright the basses, he also sings sucks and you pay on this album

[Ampex101]

Applies to the PMC,IeG(Blackwater Mercs) the US uses to keep statistics down.

[djharg1]

Special Duties! Bullshit crap...crass

[MusicIan423]

HAHA I love their names

[myrtletickner]

do you wanna come closer?

[stilln68la]

,brilliant.everytime i see a security van i think of think of this song.holiday in cambodia?.

[2382nv]

Police Truck

[poopadoodledoo]

I can't get enough of this track!, for years now. Anyone know any sick punk songs with this same feel, Crass or otherwise? thanks

[theroob]

poopadoodledoo:  get "the ungovernable force" by conflict, great album with a similar feel.

[2012ahead]

i'm a private in a private army .... yeeaaah ... anyone remember how securicor used to lose prisoners in the 80's ??? lol

[TheBarefootServant]

God i love punk.

[exeuroweenie]

Every time I see a rentacop this runs through my head.

[msuperegg77]

still sounds as powerful as it did then.

[Maxshard]

I love this song but I think it's satire and actually meant to be funny rather than anarchic.

[colombian18]

I saw a securicor guard in the job centre the other day and I laughed to myself wen this song came into my head.

[HarryUpHarry]

Iraq "soldiers" BlackWater cares

[karler]

@colombian18 always happens me ha

[GriefTourist]

best song on the album i think

[ianbastard2000]

best song on the album....You're correct!!!!

[HarryUpHarry]

Precient

[Eidelmania]

pete wrights voice is awesome, he should of song more.

[wilson2810]

i cant walk past a securicor van without hearing this in my head/especially the line its not all money sonny//

[rycky1]

same as that we have them coming to work all the time. I went by one the other day at work and i was singing this song - he just looked at me funny the moron!! did'nt have a clue ha ha

[crohnoes]

lol same, i saw one today... SECURICUR CARES... SECURICOR SCARES THE SHIT OUTTA YOU, YA WANNA COME CLOSER?

[fpittion]

It's all about sticking thickos in a uniform and they think they are powerful, they are just puppets

[jonslick13]

I was sent to a private military school until I got kicked this song ran through my head everyday..

[peaceandanarchy1]

I know how they feel.

[Securicorman]

great tune

[MrWangus]

haha, nice name

[chantsdumort]

fucking amazing

[mws2]

pete wright songs are awesome. not that steve was bad but i just think pete has that 'A' factor.

[yeahwotevaman]

...well tough shit cause I'm real busy!

[crustieswillalwaysru]

SECURICOR CARES.

[metal1313]

i worked as a security guard in a shopping mall once. fuckin hated it. non stop abuse from people who worked there abuse from my boss and they wouldnt pay us properly so i quit. and they stopped 600 euros of my cash to pay for "training" after i had quit. security guard - worse job i ever had.

[yeahwotevaman]

I worked a stint as a cleaner in a suburban shopping mall a few years ago. Shit as it was it wasn't as bad as having the security guard's job. At least I had something to do to keep me occupied through the eight hours of tedium each day.

[metal1313]

and the funny thing bout that job i had as security guard was that after i walked out lots more did the same thing. the manager of security that worked at the shopping mall and 8 or 9 or guards either left or got the push. i was at that mall recently and i didnt see any of the guards that worked for my old company. i have a feeling the company i worked for lost the contract. hmmmm.

[vanuaturocks]

Best Crass song ever, Pete wright does some mean vocals :)

[HarryUpHarry]

Many years ago I thought that the idea of a private army was nonsense. Now we have Blackwater

[SothisAmon]

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I love this band they are becoming a huge influence on me

[ianbastard2000]

Shit and brilliant all in one!!! Could only be Crass!

[HarryUpHarry]

Best comment on YouTube m8

[TheHotActionMan]

well done

[malletblow]

Bloody hell! Nicely done! My favourite Crass song (the bass is amazing). Not old enough to ever have seen em so to see these pix of the band mixed in with Securicor stuff is superb stuff! Cheers!

[giantplanet]

You`ve got some great videos mate ,keep posting.

" i walk around with a big alsation,i`ll rearrange you without provocation" great line /

I saw Crass in our local youth club in 81,they were great .If you wrote to them they`d send badges and even answer the letter personally.I often wonder what they`re all doing these days.

[Rawlinson16]

Good book about mate, The story of Crass, Steve even did a Punch n Judy show at Heathrow airport in the late eighties.

[Steeplerot]

Just swap "Securicor" for "Blackwater" and after all these years the message is the same.

[martianware]

Sounds like Mel Smith on vocals

[loyman3]

Best lyrics, amongst other lines " I deal in money you can't get at!"

[matthew871]

Is Securicor like Blackwater?

[AnarchoAlan]

Securicor were just a security firm who dealt with transporting money from businesses to banks, they now have changed their name to G4S (Group 4 Securicor) but deal in security consultancy and the likes as well

[yeahwotevaman]

Those wankers run private immigration prisons now. Nice little earner for them.

[PoonBot5K]

@AnarchoAlan Wackenhut

[MuckyPup1969]

@matthew871 No. Securicor is more like our "Wells Fargo"... you know, the security guards with guns who tranfer money to banks from businesses.

[TheWeinerface]

@matthew871 a member of the band actually worked for securicor...

[xnightofragex]

As much as I like crass to call this a mean bassline couldn't be farther from the truth.

Penis envy had good basslines, but early crass basslines sucked it hard.

Still no band has ever done what crass did, and their lyrics were amazing.

[dandandandan44]

I said he plays a mean bass, I never said this song had a good bass. Read before you post please...

[superhuegi]

ANOK4UOK

[dandandandan44]

i love his voice and he plays a mean bass too :D

[HarryUpHarry]

Blackwater

[michelle1688]
