"No Killing" is a Gordon Gano song from The Blind Leading the Naked, the third Violent Femmes album, released in 1986 under a title that twists the old saying about the blind leading the blind. Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads produced the record and plays organ on this one, Steve Scales adds percussion, and David Vartanian engineered. The album was the first Femmes record to reach the Billboard 200, and the only one to chart in Britain.
