Thou Shalt Always Kill " is a 2007 song byDan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip .The song comprises a simple electronic dance beat with the vocals taking the form of a satirical rant at aspects of British modern culture. The pivotal message is to "think for yourselves" rather than to follow current trends or get caught up in hype.
