The Oppressed

Back

Violence

Violence everywhere i go, in everyone i meet
Down the club, In the disco, 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
And your friends, kids of Britain til you run amok
Violence is in your mind you don't give a fuck
(chorus)

WE´RE THE OPPRESSED

Born to fight, born to win
We were all born to be skin
Born with Marten´s on our feet
Facing truth there´s no retreat
People fear us, think we´re strange
Boots and braces we won´t 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
Stick your disco up your arse

RIOT

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
We´re doing OK, we´re doing fine

JOE HAWKINS

See him walking down the street
Doctor Marten´s on his feet
Levi jeans Ben Sherman shirt
Fuck with him and you´ll get hurt
He´s a skinhead, he don´t care
Marten boots and short cropped hair
He´s a skinhead, he don´t care about you
Walking down on the Brighton pier
Long haired hippies filled with fear
Cruch of bone as the boot goes 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 skins
What´s his name, Joe Hawkins
