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.

Die Krupps
Sitting in a cage
an open cage
you're used to its measures
used to the way it feels
it gives you security
and eases your anxiety
the fear of the unknown
the fear to be all alone
the desire to leave home
the nightmare of being torn
I set my mind on something
I would like to be
and I open up the door
there is so much to explore
I set my mind on things
that I would like to see
and I open up the door
there is so much more to score
I sure could leave this cell
but I don't
I should leave this hell
but I won't
there is only one way out of this
it is to travel by mind - noiseless
the body is trapped but the mind soars free
the body is caged but the mind soars free.
