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
=========
music: engler / words: esch
if they say it's necesary/
to be disciplined and trained/
to transform their new ideas/
into history and pain/
and pain...
simply say no
say no
(repeat)
if they say it's necessary/
to fight in a holy war/
if they say your life is needed/
to protect the great ideals
simply say no
say no
(repeat)
just let them feel
