I am a target for abuse and physical attack, I'm stopped late at night for walking home by the police, they must think I'm a danger to society, I've been refused a cup of tea in a British Rail cafe a pint of beer in various pubs, I've been beaten up by West Indians, 'cos they've believed what they've read in the press, what I am, ain't you guessed, I'm a skinhead.
Yeah, I'm a skinhead an' I'm proud, 'cos I reckon skinheads are the working class culture, an' you don't like it, the powers that be, 'cos we don't conform to your society.
We're a working class thing an I'm a working class bloke, without a job thanx to you, I'm a skin 'cos I like the music, the clothes an' the look, an' the feeling of beeing a part of a movement. I don't care what the papers write, I don't give a fuck about politics, I aint't never voted an' I ain't never gonna, I ain't a Nazi, a commie or even a social democrat, I'm just one of many who ain't got no-one in authority, my own view on politics is there's them an' us an' always has been, my only view on race is that I reckon I got more in common with a working class black than I have with some rich middle class white person who spends their life telling me what to do, apart from that I ain't got nothing to say on race or politics except all politicians are corrupt an' phoney, an' liars an' I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire
I ain't saying all skins are angels, I ain't one my-self, all I'm trying to say is, don't judge us by what you read, sure we'll fight if provoked, but all we gonna do is have a laugh, places' to go an' things to do, you give us entertainment an' a chance in life, an' the majority of us will give no trouble.
United
The voice of Oi! is calling you
With a message that is true
Punky herberts straight and skin
All of you come on in
Cos Oi's for skins and Oi's for punks
It's fun and fury, real urban funk
The voice of Oi is unity
The beat of the street is you and me
United is the thing to be
United against society
Think how strong we can be
United against society
So stick together and see it thru
Strength thru oi is me and you
Let them twist our every word
But we're gonna be heard
Cos oi aint about having a fight
Oi ain't ever about black v. white.
The voice of oi is unity
No them and us just you and me
United is the thing to be
Power to the people not anarchy
Think how strong we will be
United against society
