Indiscipline

"Indiscipline" is a song by King Crimson, from the 1981 album Discipline. The song has become a fan favorite over the years and was often played live. On the Beat tour, for example, it closed all of the shows and began with a Bill Bruford drum solo. As with " Elephant Talk" and the spoken story in " Thela Hun Ginjeet", Adrian Belew would sometimes improvise small parts of the dialogue.

Usage examples of "indiscipline".
