Die Kruppsis a German electropunk, ebmand crossoverband formed in 1980 by Juergen Engler and Ralf Doerper. The band's name comes from the Krupp dynasty - one of pre-war Germany´s main industrialfamilies. This name was apparently chosen for its industrial connotations, as the band is strongly anti-Nazi. In some interviews the band stated that Visconti´s movie "The Damned" - a depiction of the fictitious German industrial dynasty of the Essenbecks - was the main inspiration. Die Krupps's debut EP, 1981's Stahlwerkssymphony, strongly resembled Einsturzende Neubauten.

The Machineries of Joy
Work, work, work, true work!
Pain, pain, pain, sweet pain!
Mein Muskeln sich verschoenern (90%: My muscles are improving)
Sehen sterlen schweiss fuehlen (70%: See, die, feel sweat)
Schmutzesam drecksam Bauerarbeit (50%: Dirt,some filth, some builder's work)
Schwarz undd all Bauerlohn (20%: Black and all builder's wages)
Join the rhythm of machine
Feel the power while you learn
Join the rhythm of machine
Sweat and pain is all you earn
Ah-aho!
Ah-aho!
Lohn! (100%: Wages)
Arbeit! (100%: Work
