During a recent Coachella performance, Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris clarified the message behind their song "Coup D'Etat," distancing the band from the violent implications of its lyrics. While expressing that the last line's call to "kill all" was an ugly statement, he emphasized they do not endorse violence, particularly against government figures. Furthermore, he made a politically charged comment referencing Luigi Mangione's criminal case, criticized his sister's voting choice, hinted at the divisive nature of politics today, and showed care for an audience member in distress during their set.
That song, that last line, ends with 'kill all.' That's a pretty f-king ugly statement. In ugly times. Do not think that we encourage that.
What we do encourage - what would be totally f-king happening - would be an army of Luigis.
Morris called out his sister - who voted for 'that guy,' as he put it, as a nod to Trump - and briefed his inability to visit her.
Despite the harsh rhetoric, Morris paused the set for a moment to check on a fan who appeared in distress, calling for a medic.
