You´re not one of them with their two minute fashion In your life there´s too much pain and passion Speak your mind aloud and do what you wanna do And always remeber we´ll be right behind you
THE ALTERNATIVE PEOPLE ALTERNATIVE, ALTERNATIVE
You´re told you´re insane but then again who writes the rules Being yourself won´t make you no fool To be following suit, that doesn´t mean that it´s allright Stand up straight and you´ve won half the fight
Staring at the dial there it´s hanging on my wall Just a few hours to go before the call A never ending story of such that hurts my soul Gotta break free to gain control - CONTROL!
It´s Another Day - ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DAY Another Day of The Rest Of Your Life Gone is - ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DAY Another Day For The Rest Of Your Life
Make those bloody eight and you wait for them to pay Hey, is this tomorrow, was it yesterday My face inside a mirror and the mirror starts to crack Gotta break free to get my true face back - BACK!
Here´s to the girl who didn´t know where to stop Here´s to the girl who went over the top FUCK YOU etc.
B-I B-I-T B-I-T-C-H! Bitch!
It hurt so much when he let us down Now I won´t be your private clown FUCK YOU etc.
B-I B-I-T B-I-T-C-H! Bitch!
Now here´s to you who think we´re wrong Congrat. yourselves, this is you song FUCK YOU etc.
I´m so tired but I´m not helped by sleeping I´m so sad but I see no point in weeping I´ve got so much I wanna do and say But when I get the chance I´m put out of the way
I´M SO BORED, SO BLEEDING BORED I´VE GOTTA GET OUT I´M SO BORED, SO BLEEDING BORED WHAT´S THE WAY OUT
I feel like smoking but I have no fags I want a girl but all ´round here´s just slags I´m so bored I´m going out of my mind To stare at these walls are driving me blind
Here they come again all full of lies Eager to sell what only blind ones buy Criticising is their favourite game Wearing different faces but they´re all the same
You´ve Met Them Before - The BULLSHIT BRIGADE You´ve Heard It Before - The BULLSHIT SERENADE You´ve Met Them Before - The BULLSHIT BRIGADE
Do as you´re told and always stay in line Shut your mouth and you´ll be doing fine They don´t care about right or wrong They´ll create what they need to complete their song
You´ve Met Them Before - The BULLSHIT BRIGADE You´ve Heard It Before - The BULLSHIT SERENADE You´ve Met Them Before - The BULLSHIT BRIGADE
Here they come again running through the night Looking hard, looking for a fight They don´t care if you´re innocent The don´t care, they don´t care
Here we are, fighting for our living We know it ain´t easy, it´s all taking and giving Some say, and they knock us on the head Get yourselves together or you will end up dead Clockwork Generation This Is The Voice Of Frustration
We do our best, trying to find some work But at the interview they seem to think I´m a jerk “You're uneducated”, that's what they say What does it matter, I can work anyway
Cropped or combed, spikes and leather It doesn´t matter who you are If the kids are united, all together If you´re with us we´re gonna go far
WE´RE THE CLOCKWORK ARMY! We´re the Clockwork Crew WE´RE THE CLOCKWORK ARMY! And so are you……..
They´ll never take us, we don´t fake it Somebodys daughter, somebodys son They´ll never break us, we won´t take it You know us, we´re number one
Don’t try to tell me how it should be done I don’t wanna listen, wanna have some fun If I’m pissing you off, well, isn’t it sad But take away that finger, you’re not my dad
DON’T BOTHER ME YOU DON’T REALLY CARE I’VE HAD MY SHARE SO STOP BOTHERING ME
I don’t need your warnings, your suspicion or doubt I’ve got so much inside me that’s gotta come out What’s it to you and what’s it to me It’s all about breaking free
People of today just don't know how to dress They don't seem to care, they are looking a mess Scruffy looking t-shirts torn up jeans Dress hard, dress smart - they don't know what it means
WE DRESS HARD, WE DRESS SMART DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE NO TRENDY TART WE DRESS HARD, WE DRESS SMART DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE YOU
I don't wanna look lik no hippy punk And I don't wanna wear your trendy junk Coz I take pride in dressing smart I know what I'm doing, I just follow my heart
WE DRESS HARD, WE DRESS SMART DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE NO TRENDY TART WE DRESS HARD, WE DRESS SMART DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE YOU
You know nothing till you know how it feels To put on a Sherman, walk on Marten heels It's the ultimate feeling I can happily sigh If you've got any sense you ought to give it a try
Every fourth year we go to the election Trying to find a party we hope brings satisfaction I tell you it ain´t easy but it is our only choice It´s our only chance to make them hear our voice When the election´s over we see their other face What happened to the promises, they disappeared without a trace
Every politician is just another liar Even at the top they just wanna get higher They smile, they talk, just anything to please But if they get the power they´ll smack us on our knees Now if I didn´t have to I wouldn´t make no choice I would have it my way, out with the boys
All freaks assembled, now let’s have a laugh A hyena is Caesar and some vultures are staff We’re all dying to hear when you tell us all No pain is too great and no issues’s too small
FREAK SHOW! DON’T YOU KNOW IT’S A FREAK SHOW! AND YOU ARE A PART OF IT……NOW!
Nobody cares, they’re just having you on And no one remebers you when you’re gone Pervertion’s their game and you gave them a hero But can’t you see you’re just a freak show zero
Now listen here son and you better listen good I'm not satisfied, you're not acting like you should I'm your boss and you ought to know your place You'll have to be happy when I spit in your face
Leave Me Alone! Leave Me Alone!! Get Off Of My Back! Leave Me Alone Or My Spine Will Crack!!
I don't really need you so be glad that you're hired Now do as I say, or I'll have you fired I've got all the aces, you will call me God So come on now, work harder you lazy sod
Cheers to the band who told us the truth And to the all time leaders of the angry youth They came out of nowhere, went straight to the top They got us rolling, no we´re hard to stop Hersham, Hersham Heroes, Hersham, Hersham Boys Hersham, Hersham Heroes Hersham Heroes, Hersham Boys
Real life music for a real life crowd Dirty faced angels who always stand proud So all little rich kids, you better watch out The SHAM ARMY´s still here, we are marching about (for the)
As soon as we go out, no matter when There´s always someone mocking us again and again They blame us for things that we don´t stand for I´m sorry to say that it´s just like before
EVERYBODY SHOULD FEEL JOY AND PRIDE YOUR NATIONAL BACKGROUND IS NOTHING TO HIDE EVERYBODY SHOULD FEEL JOY AND PRIDE YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM DON´T EVER PUT IT ASIDE
In this land you´re being put down If you love your country or even your town They think that if you wear the flag on your arm Then you´re out to do some immigrant harm (But they´re wrong……)
EVERYBODY SHOULD FEEL JOY AND PRIDE YOUR NATIONAL BACKGROUND IS NOTHING TO HIDE EVERYBODY SHOULD FEEL JOY AND PRIDE YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM DON´T EVER PUT IT ASIDE
Listen all of you with a narrow mind Find out the facts and leave prejudice behind Be proud of yourself and of your land We gotta stand together all hand in hand (So come on!)
Hello there mr. and mrs. Clean, how are you today Everything´s just fine I guess except for us getting in your way Eat the ´paper along with yor breakfast, pack the T.V. down for lunch And always make sure your kid´s beside to listen as you munch
YOU KNOW NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL YOU DON´T KNOW A THING YOU KNOW NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL YOU DON´T EVEN HEAR ME SING……THIS
Keep building up those walls around you, don´t let anybody in ´Cos if you do you´re no lomger safe and might be led to a sin Just remeber what your mum told about good, bad, heaven and hell My question for you is just how long can you take their shell
Surrounded by concrete when we grew up -no future for us- I DON´T THINK SO! Same stupid question all the time -what will you become- HOW SHOULD I KNOW! Roaming the streets with nothing to do -up to no good- OH THEY TOLD US! Then they think it´s very strange that we don´t listen to those who bought and sold us!
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS MILLIONS LIKE YOU AND ME MILLIONS AND MILLIONS MILLIONS LIKE US YOU SEE
We all went to school, an ambition so high – HERE’S YOUR CHANCE NOW! Found me a job down the one way street – HERE’S YOUR LIFE NOW! When I need help they’ll tell me this, here’s the knife son – NOT MORE, NOT LESS! Then they look away ashamed when in their face we stuff their own mess!
It´s always the same, I never have no money Do you know what I mean, it ain´t that funny Living on loans, no it can´t last long I´m not sure just what it is but something´s very wrong
NO MONEY - NO FREEDOM THAT´S THE WAY LIFE GOES RUNNING A RACE OF NEVER WIN, ALWAYS LOSE
NO MONEY - NO FREEDOM THAT´S THE WAY IT IS BUT IS IT MONEY OR FREEDOM THAT I MISS
I want a break, I wanna make my own bread at least I want the chance befor I´m lying there dead I seem stuck in a cage from which I can´t break free This ain´t the way life´s supposed to be
Here he comes when he´s least expected You better make sure you´re well protected You say you don´t need him, he don´t care All of your problems he wants to share He´s here to help you, that´s what he´ll say But on you own you were doing O.K.
MR. DELTOID - LEAVE ME ALONE DON´T TRY TO BOSS ME FROM YOU THRONE
He says one thing but does the contrary Those who´ve met him knows he ain´t no fairy You´re under his surveillance all of the time When you´re down he´s in his prime Next time he comes knocking on your door You better be wealthy ´cause he´ll eat the poor
Every day for us is a fight more or less My kind of people always have to stand up to the press Why do you do it is the standing question To get satisfaction is my humble suggestion
MY WAY OR NO WAY MY……….WAY!
We could all surrender and go the easy way But then our days would be all dull and grey No-one is to tell me what to think and what to do I will do it my way, not because you tell me to
What, what on earth makes you better than me? Please tell me mister ´cos that I cannot see You´ve got your cars, your money and your fame But I´ve got my pride which you never can claim
YOU´RE NO BETTER, BETTER THAN ME YOU´RE NO BETTER, BETTER THAN ME THIS ONE DAY YOU´LL SEE
You´ve stepped over bodies to reach your goal But now you make a mistake when you label us fools Whatever you´ll try you´ll never keep us quiet The day will come when you have a runnin´ riot
This is the story of the world league boys Together we stand under the name of Oi! Some are dressed in leather and studs Some are skins or football thugs It doesn´t matter if you´r white or black If somebody mess we strike hard back - Oi!
Oi! Oi! - That´s The Sound! Oi! Oi! - The World Around!
Micky, Stinky, Gary and Roi They all gave the message: “Strength Thru Oi!” The so called normals they say we´re shit But we don´t care, not a single bit So everywhere, every girl and boy United we stand under the name of Oi!
Back in the days of nineteen sixtynine Everybody knew it and they were feeling fine, so fine Sherman, Perry, Levi´s and Lee Belonged to Mods and Skins just as clear as could be And that´s right!
There´ll Have To Be A Change You´ll Have To Re-arrange Make That Change Soon And Leave Our Style Alone
They´ve seen some bloody pop star wearing our gear So afraid of skinheads but buy our clothes without fear, no fear The same thing goes with a shaven head It´s alright with sneakers - boots, they want you dead, so DEAD!
There´ll Have To Be A Change You´ll Have To Re-arrange Make That Change Soon And Leave Our Style Alone
Now in the days of nineteen ninetynine We´re still here and we are doing fine, so fine You might try but you will never succeed For you know skins are such a tough breed
Do you still have Southall in the back of your mind Or did the press win and made you totally blind There were lots of Skinheads having a ball But as the press put it, it almost made them fall
The Press, The Press The Daily Oppressor
When you read the paper you wanna think it's true But when you hear our story you know they've fooled you Coz they're always writing rubbish 'bout kids like you and me They never stick to reality, just what they want to see
I just can´t get enough of this, you gotta give me some more I´m not satisfied you know, ´till I´m down there on the floor Evil stares are following me around, but I don´t give a shit Tonight´s the night and I better do, do the best of it
Saturdayday Night, I`m Up With The Crew We're All Humans, Yeah Me And You Saturday night, It Rules Okay We're Going Out So Get Out Of Our Way
Whatever you´re doing with your weeks, they´re all such a bore But when the weekend finally comes you better make sure To break free from the chains of boredom and start to live The weekends here for you so give it all you´ve got to give
Today you keep changing all the time but I can't see why You try to be oh oh so brave when you're in fact shy The people with which you hang they tell you what to do Does it satisfy you to be them, don't you wanna be you
It's A Shame! SHAME! SHAME! A Shame! REAL SHAME! A Shame And You're To Blame!!
One day you will wake up to see your mates all gone Now left are no excuses, no-o not a single one They have changed again to another kind of hollow It's all up to you to be standing strong or weakly follow
Why did you do it, were you so afraid? I think they're stupid, the mistakes that you've made You said one thing but what you did was another Did you think you'd get away, that we wouldn't bother at all? Did you really……….
(We've Been) Kicked, Kicked, Kicked Kicked In The Side You Better Run And Hide Kicked, Kicked, Kicked Kicked In The Side You Better Run And Hide From Us COMING FOR YA!
You talked all nice but you lied all of the time To fool just another band it can't be called a crime No politics at all and that we believed Now I now what you meant, we end up decieved
He was born into this world like an unwritten page But as he grew older the more grew his rage He was taught to behave and to never tell a lie But how could he ever do it, born with ears and eyes (You tell me….)
HE WAS BORN BY THIS SOCIETY, BRED BY THIS SOCIETY HE WAS USED BY THIS SOCIETY, KILLED BY THIS SOCIETY
Wherever he went he always aimed to please But where did it ever get him except for down on his knees He found this out but it was much too late Now instead of love all he could was hate (And who´s to blame….)
Living in a small town - what are you gonna do about it Sit down on your arse, say you´re satisfied - and just quit NO, it´s not the way to go NO, there´s gotta be more you know
LIVING IN A SMALL, LIVING IN A SMALL LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN - LIVING EVERYWHERE YOU GO, SOMEBODY YOU KNOW SOMEBODY YOU KNOW, YOU´LL MEET THEM
You know it´s no solution just to hang around - endless waiting Life will never be anything but what you´re - generating OH, I hope I didn´t spoil the show OH, that´s something I do you know
The only way that we can talk is over the phone ´Cos you had to leave the country to stop you from feeling all alone What we had was quite unique, at least that´s what I thought But you betrayed us all for that thing they say can´t be bought
WE GOT STABBED IN THE BACK WE KNOW WHO GAVE WHO THE SACK
Those fifteen minutes are all you´ll get but there could have been more Now all I see is your bent back as your heading for the door Keep on running as you´ve always done, never stop to think But for every minute those nails cut deeper the more you´ll shrink
Once there was a time when punks were punks and skins were truely skins But that was a long, long time ago and much have happened since They had the music, they had the style and they were doing quite okay But then came “know-alls”, left and right, and took it all away
We Will Take It Back! ´Coz Oi! Belongs To The Kids We Will Take It Back! ´Coz Oi! Ain´t Political
Why must it be that politics is what it´s all about We say it´s not but you don´t hear though we scream and shout Have a beer and have a laugh, that is what we want We don´t need the AFA and we don´t need no National Front
I can see them in their masses, searching hard for cheap sun glasses It´s the annual celebration of anything but this nation I´m in a lot of pain, I think I´m going insane And everybody think it´s great man, makes me feel like Pat Bateman
IT´S THE UGLY FACE OF STUPIDITY IS THERE A FUTURE FOR HUMANITY WITH THE UGLY FACE OF STUPIDITY THERE´S NO FUTURE…….
They say that man is so progressive, maybe that should be aggressive Teenage girls they may adore you but that´ll change, I assure you You take two steps forward but then it´s four steps back Maybe you haven´t noticed but in your head there´s a crack
Everybody´s living as if they weren´t able They´re all happy plugged in If we don´t care then nobody will Nobody will and that´s a shame We weren´t around in the days of Johnny Rotten But we are here right now The feeling´s the same and it´s time for action Time for action so come on!
THE TIME´S NOW! THE TIME´S NOW, RIGHT NOW! THE TIME´S NOW!
How many singles can be made of an album Far too many it seems The age´s still static but a change is coming A change is coming, or it must There´s a cause, a cause to fight Can we count you in? If you start to care then others will follow Others will follow so come on!
I wont tell you what you wanna hear, I´ll tell it the way it is I may win or I may lose and I´ll sure be taking the piss People talk and people stare, they can´t believe their eyes I´m looked upon as an alien, an intruder in the world of lies
I´M THE TRUTH TELLER TRUE! TRUE! TRUE! TRUTH TELLER I AM
You may choose to live your life with eyes closed and not open wide But tell me now in honesty, what´s that you try to hide Rumours spread and curtains drawn but it just can´t be dissmissed That it´s your nose, it isn´t mine, that´s getting brown of asses kissed
Run down the street, shout your anthems loud A cause to live and die for makes you feel proud With your mates by your side, it makes you feel so great But I don´t understand your values of hate
YOU ARE - TWO SIDES THE SAME
Your eyes gone blind and your heart´s gone deaf Your goal is to take out the enemys breath One cause is white and the other one´s red Don´t you understand it´ll see you both dead
Makes me sad when I hear about a stupid fight Between only skins that happened the other night Just fuck your firms and your political views There shall be no more internal abuse - internal abuse
UNITED SKINS! United Skinheads UNITED SKINS! United skins, I know we will win
Gotta stick together if we wanna see it thru I know I can make it so now it's up to you Don't be stuck up, you won't survive on your own Together we shall reclaim the street level throne - it's our throne
UNITED SKINS! United Skinheads UNITED SKINS! United skins, I know we will win
Gotta unite together - it's the only way LISTEN TO ME!!
There is no use to be fighting each other Tell me what's the point in beating up your brother So now you crop-tops listen one and all United we'll stand but divided, divided we'll fall - divided we'll fall
I get the feeling I´ve seen this before, another country, another screen And I know what it´s all about, what´s to come and what has been You all stand there just like sheep, don´t think ´cos there´s no need Just agree with what they say, cut it open, smile, watch it bleed
WHAT WE´VE GOT TODAY IS A LITTLE U.S. of A. WHAT THEY WANT TODAY IS ALITTLE U.S. of A.
Murders an rapes and misery galore, can this be true, is it that bad Your next door neighbour in a pool of blood, just bad luck and I´m sooo sad Three golden letters are carried with pride, stamped on your forehead, on your leisure bag It´s so lovely when it´s all distant, today it´s your mind, tomorrow your flag
WHAT WE´VE GOT TODAY IS A LITTLE U.S. of A. DO YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO PLAY IN A LITTLE U.S. of A.
People all around me and they are shoutin out their pain But no-one seems to care if we are feeling just the same Haven´t we the same rights, the right to speak and feel You better think twice before you cu, som wounds will never heal
WHAT, WHAT ABOUT ME AND WHAT ABOUT US
The wheels are spinning faster but we can´t take no more And there´s no chance to run and hide when we´re right outside your door You´ll be sorry that you didn´t listen but then it´ll be too late Before your eyes you´ll have the monster you were so eager to create
What can we do except for being ourselves We never wanted to be left on the shelf “No gigs are planned and I don´t give a shit” “But come on boys, now fulfill your bit”
THEY DON´T CARE FOR ME AND YOU IT´S A THING THEY SAY THEY DO THEY DON´T CARE FOR ME AND YOU AND IT´S TRUE………
Signing that contract was a mutual deal But you got it wrong if you thought that we´d kneel Money´s the king and so that is all you see We get the blame while the cunts go free
What the hell am I supposed to do about this situation A million letters sent but it´s a one way communication I feel like taking my guitar And smash it all over your head I´ll do just anything To wake you up from the dead
WHERE ARE YOU WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU WHERE ARE YOU AM I GETTING THROUGH
OH, how many times I´ve heard your words but now I wanna see action What the hell is wrong with you are you so scared to see the reaction My voice is getting sore Of shouting at deaf ears It must all be worth while To get laughter sure takes tears
When I see you pass me by Flags and emblems´ flying high Army boots and camouflage Petrol bombs from your garage
WHERE´S THE WAR (x3) IT´S ALL IN YOUR HEAD
When you see me pass you by Turn your head and start to cry Big bold posters, sticky glue Suburban rebels thru and thru
WHERE´S THE WAR (x3) IT´S ALL IN YOUR HEAD
When it´s over, all gone by Will you still stand by the lie No more ghosts inside your head Will you then salute the dead
