Crass was an influential English anarchist punkband. Crass formed in 1977, based around Dial House, an 'open house community' near Epping, Essex, in England. Whereas the Sex Pistols' anarchism seemed to be a self-consciously nihilistic prank, Crass's stance was more directly linked to the libertarian socialist or communalistic varieties of 20th century political thought. Taking literally the punk manifesto of "Do It Yourself", Crass combined the use of song, film, sound collage, graphics and subversion to launch a sustained and innovative critical broadside against all that they saw as a culture built on foundations of war, violence, sexism, religious hypocrisy and unthinking consumerism. They were also amongst the progenitors of the anarcho-pacifism that became pervasive in the punkmusic scene (see also anarcho-punk).

Securicor Lyrics
Crass
I'm a private in a private army etc..
I am a working for Securicor
Take the money and come back for more
I want to do it cause I know I should
For the customer and the common good
I walk around with a big alsation
He'll re-arrange you with no provocation
And I'm the bugger who has got the lead
And you'll have to be bright if you want to get at me
Securicor cares, Securicor cares
Securicor scares the shit out of you
Do you want to come closer?
I block the pavement with my club and hat
Deal in money that you can't get at
You want to use me cause I'm up for rent
Well tough shit, cause I'm really busy
You ought to know me cause I've been a cop
Out of the army where I learned a lot
Some kids still chuckle when they see my van
But it's not all money sonny
Do you want to come closer?
Securicor cares, Securicor cares
Securicor scares the shit out of you
Do you want to come closer?
DO YOU WANT TO COME CLOSER?
I'm a private in a private army etc
