All your life you been fucked around
Ain't had the chance to get off the ground
Job opportunity you never see
You got to fight if you wanna be free, be free...
[Chorus:]
Put the boot in, get off the shelf
Put the boot in, fight for yourself
Put the boot in, it's time to attack
Put the boot in, and don't look back, oh no...
Government policies, made for the rich
Passed by Tories, led by a bitch
Out of school, straight on the dole
But there's one way to save your soul, oh yeah...
Put the boot in, prepare for the heat
Put the boot in, there's blood on the street
Put the boot in, you don't have to run
The Tory party got no soul
3 1/2 million on the dole
Maggie's boys don't give a damn
About the plight of the working man...
[Chorus:]
You gotta fight, fight, fight, hear that cry
Never surrender, never say die,
Fight, fight, fight, for what's right
Fight, fight, fight, for your life
The youth ain't got no future
The youth ain't got no fun
Unemployment rules this land
We are East and we are cruel 5,4,3,2,1!
We're Llanrumney and we rule 5,4,3,2,1!
You know that we kick to kill 5,4,3,2,1!
Always have and always will 5,4,3,2,1!
5,4,3,2,1! [x4]
Red and black and fast and fuck 5,4,3,2,1!
East end boys they love the ruck 5,4,3,2,1!
Any time day or night 5,4,3,2,1!
Llanrumney, they love to fight 5,4,3,2,1!
5,4,3,2,1! [x4]
5,4,3,2,1! [x4]
Who are, who are, who are 5,4,3,2,1!
We are, we are Llanrumney 5,4,3,2,1!
Who are, who are, who are 5,4,3,2,1!
We are, we are Llanrumney 5,4,3,2,1!
You were born with a yellow streak down your back
And its only innocents that you attack
You're a prostitute for the nazi man
You're being used in his master plan
and when he's taken all you got
you'll be up against the wall and shot
Substitute, that's a fact
See right through your union jack
See right through the hate you cry
Substitute and that's no lie...
You think you look pretty good together
But your politics ain't all that clever
You're a prostitute for the nazi whore
A mercenary in a fascist war
And if they ever do succeed
The boys in blue are on the streets tonight
Guns in holsters, they feel alright
Hiding behind badges, not like normal men
No jury will convict the bastards, no-one will condemn
[Chorus:]
Gun Law, Gun Law, in this land
Police with shooters in their hands
Gun law, Gun law, in this town
Stop 'em now before they shoot you down...
If the police come after you and me
They don't have to worry, they'll go free
Innocents lie dying, bodies filled with lead
You listen to their stories
You listen to their lies
You listen to their propaganda
They're the bastards you despise...
Hear the people scream and shout
We want government,government out
Labours cuts the dole queue's
The Tories cut your throat
Neither party give a shit
All they're after is your vote
To who will government answer
When the police rule the state
Will they answer to Big Brother
In the year of '88
So don't listen to their stories
don't listen to their lies
don't listen to their propaganda
Dreaming of how life could be,
If society was free,
If we never had no SPG
It's up to you, it's up to me, to me.
We gotta work, work, work together,
Fight, fight, stay alive
Work, work, work together,
We're fighting to survive
You'll know when we arrive, oh yeah
Work for all in a carefree state,
No more anger, no more hate,
No more fighting, black and white,
We must all learn to unite
Unite!!!
We gotta work, work, work together,
Fight, fight, stay alive
Work, work, work together,
We're fighting to survive
You'll know when we arrive, oh yeah
Dreaming of how life could be,
If society was free,
If we never had no SPG
It's up to you, it's up to me, to me.
We gotta work, work, work together,
Fight, fight, stay alive
Work, work, work together,
We're fighting to survive
You'll know when we arrive
We gotta work, work, work together,
Fight, fight, stay alive
Work, work, work together,
We're fighting to survive
You'll know when we arrive, oh yeah
the city streets are burning
theres murder in your town
the boys in blue are after you and me
another on goes down, buts thats alright
another car goes up in flames
the riot act is read
another night, another fight
another body dead but thats alright
no one ever listens and no one take the blame
everybody soon forgets, the hate remains the same
another night is over
a bright new day begins
and everybody soon forgets
another no one wins
You don't understand us, you call us a fool,
You say we will be OK, if we obey your rule.
But then you oppress us, the SPG you sent...
Can't you see, we don't need, your government
[Chorus:]
Government, Government
We don't need your Government
Government, Government
We don't want your Government
We live with the riots, the violence on the street,
But the trouble that we see, you will never meet
Hiding in the corridors of your parliament
people stop and stare at you and me
they don't understand what they don't see
just coz we got short hair
people think tha we don't care
we wont show the white flag
stopped while walking home at fucking night
up on suss, a charge we're ganna fight
we're the ones who got the scars
and we'll fight from behind bars
politicians income tax the dole
we been used, wont get no parole
sons of oi! you are no threat
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I lost my liberty for causing an affray.
But now I'm older and much wiser than before,
I've done my time and I ain't going back for more.
[Chorus:]
When I was young...
Just punks on alcohol, I drunk too much again.
My mindless violence was the cause of all their pain
There's no excuses for the damage that I done,
It could've gone too far, I could've killed someone.
And now I realise, the errors of my youth,
I've left that life behind coz now I know the truth,
My eyes are open now and I will only fight,
Born to fight, born to win
We were all born to be skin.
Born with Martin's on our feet
Facing truth there's no retreat
People fear us, think we're strange
Boots and Braces we wont change
We will never be second best
You know us we're The Oppressed
We are skinheads, we are proud
Playing music for the crowd
Music for the working class
So they say that we're on the way out
They say it's all just hype
Just take a look of fear in their eyes
Cause it's the in thing to abuse us
Behind our backs of course
They shroud the truth
With their own brand of lies
But we don't care what they say
We will never be put away
Cause we're all having the time of our lives
Cause we're gonna do just anything
We're gonna sing what we wanna sing
And we'll wade through anything that you say
We're all having too much fun
We can't stop we've only only just begun
We're gonna carry on for another day
Now you keep giving us verbal
When we're not around
When we're there you don't utter a sound
You'd better stop it
You ain't getting nowhere
And it's too easy to smash
You right into the ground
Violent Society, what we got today,
Violent Society, just won't go away,
Violent Society, tell me what you find.
Violent Society, violence in your mind.
[Chorus:]
VIOLENT SOCIETY, WON'T GO AWAY
Violent Society, violence from the police
Violent Society, locked up no release,
Violent Society, kicking down the door
Violent Society, 1984...
Violent Society, friend fighting friend
Violent Society, where's it gonna end
Violent Society, black fighting white
we ain't done anything, we get blamed
we are the innocent, we get framed
lies get told about us, when we're in court
you know that justice is never sought
we're victims of society
lie are told but no one sees
victims of society
can't you see they're after you and me
read in the paper, see it on the news
law and disorder is all the media choose
only show the hooligans, only show the thugs
Urban Soldiers back out on the street,
Kids in braces with their hair cut near,
you don't know 'em but you know their name,
Bootboys, suedeheads, they're all the same,
Urban Soldiers on the street,
Urban Soldiers kids you meet,
Urban Soldiers they won't run,
Urban Soldiers from no one,
Cause they're Skinheads
Up the town for a drink on a Friday night,
they'll be ready if you start a fight,
they're the new breed and they'll get stuck in,
Violence everywhere I go, in everyone I meet
Down the clubs, in the discos, violence on the street
The way you stand alone and proud, the way you crop your hair
Violence in your boots and braces, violence in your stare
[Chorus:]
We've got Violence
Violence
Violence
Ultra violence
Blood on the streets
Violence down the football, Violence in the pub
Violence is a way of life, violence you love
Angel flares, keeps on burning, til you've had a ruck
You got violence on your mind, you don't give a fuck
We don't carry flick knives
We don't carry lead
We only carry hatchets
To bury in your head
So come on
Let's go
So come on
Let's go
A.F.A.
We don't carry shotguns
We don't carry chains
We only carry hatchets
To bury in your brains
So come on
Let's go
So come on
Let's go
A.F.A.
We don't carry flick knives
We don't carry lead
We only carry hatchets
To bury in your head
So come on
Let's go
So come on
Let's go
All the polish workers fight to make their stand
And behind them every honest working men
In unity there`s each other and your friend becomes your brother
And in the tyrant`s heart will be a lesson learned
Give them hope give them strength give them live
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We`re all with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we`ll pray for our nation through its darkest times
The tyrant has no smile upon his face
Cause he knows that in his minds he`s in disgrace
Remission of you will take his breath away
Until we come and we will have our day
Give them hope give them strength give them live
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We`re all with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we`ll pray for our nation through its darkest times
As the polish workers fight to make their stand
And behind them every honest working men
Join hand with your brother and then you can help each other
You said you were one of us
We really thought you had the suss
But all your talk of skinhead pride
Meant nothing when the skinhead died
You're sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
The enemy
People think we're all the same
It's you who put us in the frame
Your apathy is full of shit
You made your bed, you better lie in it
You're sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
The enemy
[x2]
There's one thing that makes me sick
It's when you cry non-politic
If you won't face reality
You're sleeping with the enemy
You're sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Run amok and have fight
Get pissed up cause a riot
Smash windows and burn beach huts
Tell the government to stuff the cuts
Cut the taxes one by one
Cut them 'til the job is done
Show them how to be a pest
Be a skinhead in Sta Press
They got more money then I got sense
They're just after your last few pence
Shine up your boots pour a pint
Let's go protest tonight
The old bill try to take us down
Bring us before The Crown
Lock us up when we have fights
you think you got it made
but you don't pay the price thats paid
and when the chips are down
you never seem to be around
you always talk it
but your too afraid to make a stand
you never walk it
in your mixed up skinhead wonderland
what ever happened to our culture
and where have all the bootboys gone
in skinhead times
and now the the time has come
no place to hide, nowhere to run
we see you know the score
so which side are you fighting for
if you ain't man enough
to stand up and defend your roots
maybe it's time for you
to grow your hair and lose your boots
what ever happened to our culture
and where have all the bootboys gone
There she goes, walking down the highstreet, yeah
Hair cropped short, boots and jeans
I couldn't believe my eyes, that girl was out of her mind
she was my height my weight my size, in braces and blue jeans
She was my Skinhead girl, she was my skinhead girl
She was my Skinhead girl, She was my Skinhead girl
I made up me mind, I'm gonna be courageous, yeah
Her hand in my hand, touch her gently
She looked at me and smiled, I know that smile's for me
She was my height my weight my size, in braces and blue jeans
She was my Skinhead girl, she was my skinhead girl
look around your country and you'll see the state it's in
homelessness and poverty, where did it all begin
hospitals are closing and the schools are falling down
the Tories got the lifeboat and the rest of us can drown
And everyday we get the same ol' story
just another lie from another Tory
one law for the wealthy man who lets his money speak
no law for the working class coz justice don't come cheap
so realise whats going on before it gets too late
open up your eyes and see the bastard you should hate
And everyday we get the same ol' story
just another lie from another Tory
one day you will understand just what they do to you
and then when you see the light you'll know just what to do
coz all the years of suffering and all the broken hearts
will be remembered when the revolution starts
And everyday we get the same ol' story
Travelling away with the football crowd,
Out with the lads, feeling proud,
We're getting shit from the other lads
We're getting shit and it makes us mad
Should I go, should I stay
Should I fight or run away
I just don't know what to do
But I, won't run from you
Saturday night on the piss with the boys
Causing trouble, we're making noise
Then along come the boys in blue
And I just don't know what to do
Saturday morning it's always the same
Body full bruises, I'm in pain
I don't know just what I fought
There's a burning sky overhead
Kids on the street are seeing red
They're gonna set the city alight
All this boredom makes ém wanna fight
Riot riot on the street tonight
Riot riot gonna do it right
Riot riot gonna scream and shout
Riot riot that's what life's about
Who's to blame the rich or the poor
Fight the enemy fight the law
We'll stick together, we'll see it through
We're gonna riot, me and you
Street's can burn, governments too
We're gonna riot we're gonna see it through
We're gonna smash your thin blue line
You don't understand us, we're nobody's fool.
We know there's no freedom under fascist rule.
You will never oppress us, you will never dictate,
can't you see, we don't need, your racial hate!
FASCISM, FASCISM, FUCK YOU AND YOUR FASCISM!
We will never surrender, we will never give in.
We will never turn our backs or let the racists win.
So don't try and tell us, about your fascist state.
Can't you see. we don't need, your racial hate!
Hear that cry throughout the streets, we know just what it means
And even to the ignorant, it ‘aignt what it seems
Through every city backstreets, the kids from all around
They all come to join the fun, cause they know the sound
They all try to ignore us, but we wont let 'em win
The wankers try to put us down, but we will smash them in
Cause we all say, that they're full of shit
And we're running down the backstreets
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And we're running unafraid
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Cause we all know that's the sound of the streets
And we're running down the backstreets
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Got our martins on our feet
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And you're all running down the backstreets with me
The kids they come from everywhere, the east end's all around
Cause they all know what it means, when they hear the sound
You know what to do, when you hear the call
Put on your boots and Harrington, and kick down that fucking wall
You can listen to politicians, they'll lead you astray
You're gonna see the light and your gonna see the way
And we all know that there's nothing like us
And we're running down the backstreets
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And we're never giving in
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Cause we all know that we're gonna fucking win
And we're running down the backstreets
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And we're here to stay
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And we all know that the firm are on they're way
They all try to ignore us, but we wont let 'em win
The wankers try to put us down, but we will smash them in
Cause we all say, that they're full of shit
And we're running down the backstreets
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And we're running unafraid
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Cause we all know that that's the sound of the streets
And we're running down the backstreets
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Got our martins on our feet
Oi! Oi! Oi!
And you're all running down the backstreet with me,
dreaming of how life can be
no them and us, just you and me
no rich or poor, no hate or war
where everybody knows the score
no justice...theres no justice
dreaming of a brighter day
where everybody gets a say
where no one lives out on the streets
and no one has to steal to eat
no justice...theres no justice
living with reality
no justice in society
a mother cries, a baby die
and politicians tell you lies
see him walking down the street
nazi jackboots on his feet
dressed in black from head to toe
is he sussed, no no no
nazi skinhead
go away and die
see him marching through you town
looking like a nazi clown
he's a ghost from years ago
Sitting in a pub with their race hate on display;
Trying to figure out who they're gonna hate today;
Better watch their backs,
we're gonna come for them some day...
We're gonna wreck their nazi nightmare
Now they're on the streets, they're filled with hate,
Gonna stop'em now, you know tomorrows gonna be too late;
Gonna stop'em now, gonna end this fascist hate
Gotta understand they don't care about what they do;
They're coming through that door, coming after me and you;
Who gave you, the right to choose,
If we win, or if we lose,
What gives you, the right to say,
If we're free, or locked away...
Magistrate, magistrate,
You're the cunt we all hate
Fining people, here and there
They got no money, but you don't care
All they need, is time to pay
I was living in a new town
I had problems with my girlfriend
So I moved on up to London town
Where they say it was all happening, going down.
Living in a bedsit
Bunking on the tube train
Sleeping all day long
'Cause you've got no work
You've got no life
You sit at home
And watch television
Living with unemployment
I... I ain't got a job
And... there's no work in the city
They... they always try to blame it on the blacks
When it's really those in power who stab you in the back
Living in a bedsit
Bunking on the tube train
Sleeping all day long
'Cause you've got no work
You've got no life
You sit at home
And watch television
Living with unemployment
Round our way
We ain't got a lot
Another five years on the dole
I know I'll be left to rot
But now I'll join the army
Believe it or not
I'm going to a foreign land
I'm gonna get shot
Living in a bedsit
Bunking on the tube train
Sleeping all day long
'Cause you've got no work
You've got no life
You sit at home
And watch television
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
And it's lonely for them
Lonely for me
Lonely for all of us
Can't you see
That it's lonely for them
Lonely for me
Lonely for all of us
Can't you see
When you're not at work
They treat you like dirt
When you're out of work
They treat you like dirt
When you're not at work
They treat you like dirt
When you're out of work
They treat you like dirt
Treat you treat you treat you like dirt
Treat you treat you treat you like dirt
Treat you treat you treat you like dirt
When you're not at work
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
Living with unemployment
Living with unemployment
Living with unemployment
Walking home alone at night
When the bastards pull me in
Told them where I was going
And I told them where I’d been
But they wouldn’t listen to a word I’d say
They threw me into the van
So I spent a night in a cell
Doing the best I can
THEY WON’T LEAVE ME ALONE
I get shit for wearing boots
‘cause I’m not the same
I won’t wear no business suit
I won’t use my brain
They think I’m some kind of thug
Running around in a gang
see him walking down the street
doctor martens on his feet
levi jeans, ben sherman shirt
fuck with him and you'll get hurt
he's a skinhead and he don't care
marten boots and short cropped hair
he's a skinhead and he don't care about you
walking down on the brighton pier
long haired hippies filled with fear
crunch of bone as boots go in
joe's so proud to be a skin
prison couldn't change his ways
skinhead's back he's here to stay
so if you think you've got the suss
be a skinhead be like us
he's the king, king of the skins
Nobody listens when you got something to say,
They just ignore you and hope you go away,
So you shout louder, you start to fight,
And then they worry coz they know that it ain't right.
IT AIN'T RIGHT
They put you down say you're talking too loud,
They put you down coz you stand out in the crowd
But you don't care, you got something to say
I'm gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
It's the kind of life to find
Tired of doing day jobs
With no thanks for what I do
I know I must be someone
Now I'm gonna find out who
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
I don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be
Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see
No-one tells you nothing even when you know they know
They tell you what you should be
They don't like to see you grow
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them what you're gonna do
You get so lonely, maybe it's better that way
It's not you only, 'cause you got something to say
Do anything you wanna do
Do anything you wanna do
So you think I got an evil mind
I tell you honey
I don't know why
I don't know why
So you think my singin's out of time
It makes me money
I don't know why
I don't know why

Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild
Cum on feel the noize

Do you remember the days in 69?
Seeing all the skinheads standing in a line
Foaming at the mouth, Waiting for a fight
High boots, cropped hair, what a fuckin' sight
Come back of the skinhead
come back of the boot
People that we don't beat up
We're gonna fucking shoot
We are the new breed, we will have our say
we are the new breed, we ain't gonna die
Trouble east London
Trouble in the street
On the street corners
Where the gang still meets
Talking about the weekend
What they're gonna do?
If you ain't careful
They are gonna do you!
Chaos in the city
Civil war now
Skinheads taking over
Like skinheads know how
Skinhead with his boots on
Nobody's fool
Skinheads taking over
Chaos is the rule!
Chaos, chaos, chaos - don't give a toss
Ain't gonna run in your hate race
Coz I know your shit is wrong
Fascist man like the Ku Klux Klan
Don't you know you don't belong
[Chorus:]
BNP, BNP, you're full of shit
Don't wanna hear your bullshit
I've heard it all before
Don't wanna see no nazi scum
hanging around my door...
Break;
WE DON'T NEED RACIAL HATE
WE DON'T WANT FASCIST STATE
WE DON'T NEED NAZI SCUM
BONEHEAD, BONEHEAD, RUN RUN RUN!
How you gonna do it, divide and rule,
no-one's gonna vote for a fascist fool
Where you gonna hide when your time runs out
Who's got a dirty face then
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
Running fighting down the street
Ain't got no money but I don't cry
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
I'm never sad but sometimes lonely
Doing things someones told me
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Kids like me and you
I'm a rebel stuck with a label
Trying to be someone in life
We're the people you don't wanna know
We come from places you don't wanna go
Angels with dirty faces
Angels from nowhere places
Remember boy that your forefather's died
Lost in millions for a country's pride
Never mention the trenches of Belgium
When they stopped fighting and they were one
A spirit stronger than war was at work that night
December 1914 cold, clear and bright
Countries' borders were right out of sight
They joined together and decided not to fight
All together now, all together now
All together now in no man's land
All together now (all together), all together now
All together now In no man's land
The same old story again
All those tears lost in vain
Nothing learnt and nothing gained
Only hope remains
All together now, all together now
All together now in no man's land
All together now all together now
All together now in no man's land
All together now all together now
All together now
In no man's land
The boys had their say, they said no
Stop the slaughter, let's go home
Let's go, let's go
Let's go let's go home
All together now
In no man's land
All together now (all together now), all together now
Hanging around with my mates one night
We got in a little fight
Geezer come with a knife in his fist
I got cut along with the wrist said
[Chorus:]
A.C.A.B. A.C.A.B. A.C.A.B.
All cops are bastards
I had a court date to plead my case
They had delight at the look in my face
They said we're gonna put you away
I said all I had to say
[Chorus]
Coppers come up and say what's the matter with you?
Now they see what we can do
Next thing I knew I was in a cell
All my mates are in there as well
