Page "Dead Kennedys" Paragraph 45

Dead Kennedys were noted for the harshness of their lyrics, which generally combined biting social satire while expressing a staunchly left-wing view of contemporary America.

Unlike other leftist punk bands who use more direct sloganeering, Dead Kennedys ' lyrics were often snide.

For example, " Holiday in Cambodia " is a multi-layered satire targeting both yuppies and Cambodia's then-current Khmer Rouge regime.
