Kill Them with Kindness Lyrics
[Jamie Cullum piano intro]
[Verse 1]
"Ar! Ar! Ar! Ar! Ar!", said the puppy to the snake
I've got a real big mirror of a smile and I hold it to the fakes
Hard boot slammed to the ground so I see what shakes
And I kill 'em with kindness
[Chorus]
I kill 'em with kindness
Ain't no doormats here
[Verse 2]
It doesn't mean you have to bow, or say "Your Highness"
Just kill 'em with kindness
If you wanna beat the machine, keep your teeth clean
And kill 'em with kindness
[Chorus]
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kindness
[Verse 3]
I guess you cannot tell from my tone, I mean ba-ba-business and I ain't on my own
I'm guessing it is hard for you to see, that-that-that-that empathy will cut down your throne
Don't you mind people grinning in your face, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding, said the champ to the chase
Woo
[Chorus]
'Cause we're killing 'em with kindness (kill 'em with kindness)
[Verse 4]
Your hum-drum, sarky slow lines don't bother me none
"Wa-wa-wa, woo-woo-woo" said the flower to the sun
Our love-locked congregation gift will get you slapped
"Gna na na na na gnaw", said the beaver to the dam
[Chorus]
'Cause we're killing with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
We'll kill 'em with kindness
[Outro]
Woo!
Ay ya ya ya ya ya ya ya there ain't no doormats here
Shake!

What did IDLES say about "Kill Them with Kindness"?
That’s Jamie Cullum [on the piano]. We met him at the Mercury Prize and he said, ‘If you need any piano on your album, just let us know.’ I was like, ‘We don’t, but we definitely do now.’ I like that idea of pushing people’s idea of what cool is. Jamie Cullum is fucking cooler than any of those apat...
