Through All The Years - THE PROWLERS
(from: Chaos in the City CD)
courtesy of Mad Butcher Records

A lot of things have changed
But one thing still remains
Kids on the street will always take the blame
We're gonna react the only way we know
We're gonna raise hell wherever we go

We're sick of being sussed by people we don't know
Have you ever been to a skinhead show?
Propaganda - politicians always speading their lies
Joe public will believe all the papers he buys

Through all the years
See through your lies
We'll carry on - we'll never die
No one can change the way we feel
There are some wounds that will never heal
Trends come and go
But we survive
We carry the pride of '69

Yeah we're the boys, we're the underclass
But our movement's strong and made to last
You see us drinking on the street
A bond like ours will never be beat
Don't have much but we have our friends
Who will stick to their guns to the very end
You can bet your life
We ain't going away
Our demands are more relevant today

Real Skinhead - STAGE BOTTLES
(from: New Flag CD)

Oi! You stupid bastards just wake up
And think about
Where your culture comes from
Oi! It's not just having fights
Dancing and drinking
Dressing up and owning many records

Oi! It's fighting back
So you should feel
Like a suburban rebel
Oi! Social difference is the reason
Employees are still exploited

Real Skinhead

Oi! Fred Perry was a jew and Levi, too
Black music
The movement source
Oi! Is kicking out the stupid racists
So let the kids be united
Oi! Don't influence the younger ones
By telling much
Without saying anything
Oi! Skinhead's not a stupid culture
Your're not allowed
To switch your brain off

Real Skinhead

Oi! You're singing songs about a teenage warning
About not showing the white flag
Oi! Don't talk about a way of life
Though for you
There's no deeper meaning
Oi! Is feeling pride
But just posing
Is no reason to be proud
Oi! So skinhead is a different thing
Your infiltration
Will be stopped

Real Skinhead
Oi!

History Repeats - FIGHTING CHANCE
(from: Sacrifice And Struggle CD)

You came to these shores, so many years before,
escaping from war and strife
The story unfolds, a lost history is told,
you worked to try and build a better life
You survived the dustbowl years,
always holding back bitter tears
What you had to do, nearly tore you apart
A wife and three kids, were the reason for the things you did, proved to yourself that you had the heart

You worked all your life! Live another day, just to die!
What a tragic page, from our history
It kills me inside, to see your memory die,
you'll always be an inspiration to me!

You built with your hands, all the monuments of this great land, from shore to shore and sea to shining sea
Left out of the story, no room for you in all the glory,
it seems like a shame to me
A life lost in time, forgotten history,
the hand me downs of the "American dream"
The struggle in your heart,
you worked in the factories and in the yards,
I never knew, that you tried so hard!

It's not the wars and generals that make this country great,
the working class built this land

Iron Fist - FATE 2 HATE
(from: Iron Fist CD)

The capitalists alienate us, their police break us
Under the blue mask is yellow betrayal
betrayal of the masses
They don't choose their calls but they chose their job
they chose their jobs
They chose the gun of hierarchy
and the badge of power
Break down the wall streets
Break down the iron fist
Pushing the machine's waste out of sight
their police break us
Cut down the individual but build up a growl
betrayal of the masses
Thunder of discontent yet lightning is still to strike
they chose their jobs
To burn this system of shame, its soldiers
scabs and the badge of power
Break down the wall streets
Break down the iron fist
It's a war on you and me, class war
Raging through history, class war
To crash to a halt, class war
There must be no classes left to fall
CLASS WAR!

Full Control - THE CLASS ASSASSINS
(from: State Of Emergency CD)

What's that sound in the underground
I think someone's tempting fate
We gotta go show that years ago
What we said is still relevant to this day
Well in the past they said it wouldn't last
And somehow we still don't belong
Look at the state of this fucking place
Can you tell me that we were wrong

We're coming back and we're on full attack
And we're in full control
Winner takes all

The punks were right, they shed the light
How the government would screw us all
And the skinheads that bled on police lines
When the unions began to fall
Well a simple twist of fate, Hate came into play
And they ripped it all apart
There comes a time when everything
Comes around again to the start

We Come Out First - THE PROWLERS
(from: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow CD)
courtesy of Mad Butcher Records

On the streets you think we're scum
In your head you think we're bums
We work hard, we have our fun
Fuck with us and you are done

In your eyes we are the worst
We're working class, we come out first

Back at home you live a lie
You hate yourself, you don't know why
Your three-piece suit won't get you by
You drink alone, you wish you'd die

Sleeping With The Enemy - THE OPPRESSED
(from: Skinhead Times - 1982/1998 CD)

We thought 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

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

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

Dead But Not Forgiven - STAGE BOTTLES
(from: 1993-2001 CD)

Ian couldn't drive a car
As we all know
He trusted too much in all his gods
And though he was a human being
We don't feel any sorrow for him

Now we got rid of one of those cunts
He's been one of our most important enemies
So we forget our respect for life
Cause all he did was senseless shit

He always said he'd die in a fight
In a fight for himself and his master-race
Now we don't know where he'll be
But it's obviously not in Valhalla

But where he is now he can meet Good Old Adolf
Both killed themselves cause they're fucking stupid
Will Ian like Adolf when they meet down there
Will Adolf like Ian or tell him to fuck off

Now we're here and having our fun
Having our fun and thinking about him
He's been the one who misused the word Skinhead
He himself was never one - he was a fucking bonehead

Fight For Justice - FATE 2 HATE
(from: Iron Fist CD)

Day by day we fight for a reason
A better life and less conditions
Day by day we fight for justice
And we're gonna get it at any price
Everyday we lessen the condition
And we're gonna get it
It will probably be the death of
the children of my children
But they will fight and benefit from it
We fight for justice
Stand for your rights
We fight for justice
Day by day we fight for a reason
A better life and less conditions
We fight for justice
Stand for your rights
We fight for justice
Stand for your rights
We fight for justice
Everyday we're fighting for it
We fight for justice
At any price

Zero Tolerance - HELL TO PAY
(unreleased)

You think that you're better than them
You think that your blood is pure
The truth is that your just as bad
As you fuckin say they are

Zero Tolerance

Its time to take this medicine
My cure for your twisted hate
Your life here serves no purpose
My cure for your twisted hate

Now its time for you to hide
For hate that's based on the color outside
Not gonna try to show you that you're wrong
When the fact is that you are a lost cause

No future, No future
For the world that you aim for
No patience, No patience
For the things that you're preaching

Coward's Pride - FIGHTING CHANCE
(from: Thus Hope Fades CD)

There's fear in their eyes but you call it pride
I can see through your fucking lies
You talk of a worldwide revolution
Some kind of bullshit final solution
There's no room for your hateful creed
Your kind are a dying breed
It's been fifty years since we beat you back
Now it's time we fucking attack!

You better fucking run
You better fucking hide
Fuck off Nazi scum
Fuck your coward's pride

Your heroes all preached perverse hate
And they all met their final fate
At the gallows or the knife
They paid for their crimes with their worthless lives
Still you preach their dreams of evil
We won't let your creed kill any more people

No Justice, No Peace - THE CLASS ASSASSINS
(from: No Justice.. 7")

Can feel the heat now and the beat of the drums
The taste of defeat now is what we’re sick of
All of our lives we break our backs
Being raised on the wrong side of the tracks
And there ain’t no choices being brought forth our way

You can sit on the fence
Put up no offence
Or stand up with the rest of us
Cuz we’ve spent our tolerance

No Justice, No Peace
It’s time to take to the streets

The fires have been started and they burn so bright
Our class has been discarded so we must fight
The scales of justice must be overthrown
In favour of this nation’s undergrowth
I’d rather die a rebel instead of a slave

Us Against Them - FINAL FOUR
(from: self-titled CD)

People with no hope are easy to control
That's why we've gotta grab a dream
Hang on tight and not let go
If we're going to survive
We've gotta keep the faith alive
And never let 'em break our spirits
No matter how hard they try

And if you stand up
I'll stand with you
The time has come of us to do what we gotta do
'Cause once again, it's us against them
And it should come as no surprise
That eventually we'd realize
That once again, it's us against them
What else is there really left to say?
It was bound to turn out this way

Now the time has come to fight the good fight
We're gonna use our brains not violence
To win because we know it's right
Now we have a chance to pave the way
To make our world a better place
We get to save the day
Don't you dare push us around
'Cause this time there'll be no backing down
We've played by your rules for far too long
No matter what they take from us
We'll get going when the going gets tough
That's why in the end we'll be standing strong

Work Together - THE OPPRESSED
(from: Skinhead Times - 1982/1998 CD)

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

Prove (unreleased version) - FATE TO HATE
(from: demo CD)

I want some proof
You're all words of wisdom drinking every night
Bragging about broken noses and bare knuckle fights
But I've heard enough exploits from a time long ago
It's time to see who's who and what's behind we'll know
You don't know who I am so be careful where you step
I don't have to prove nothing to you and your friends
Just ask anybody I've fought my own wars
I've been down this road and I've got my battle scars
Living off the past and living off your dreams
We'll judge you by your acts not by the words you spill
I've had enough of your stories and daydreams
Just jealous of our courage and a lost life it seems
Perpetuating the waste a cycle of grief
So don't waste your time I just won't believe
You don't know who I am so be careful were you step
I don't have to prove nothing to you and your friends
Just ask anybody I've fought my own wars
I've been down this road and I've got my battle scars
Living off the past and living off your dreams
We'll judge you by your acts not by the words you spill

Blamed - FIGHTING CHANCE
(from: Party Lies 7")

Blamed for nothin when you walk down the street
Get blamed for yer clothes and the boots on yer feet
Blamed for the way you cut yer hair
You get blamed in all their stares

Blamed for things that you haven't done
Blamed when you know you've done nothin wrong
Blamed cus you won't play their games
Whatever goes wrong you get blamed
You get blamed

You get blamed by this fucked up world
You get blamed cus you won't do what you're told
Blamed cus you have to fight to get by
Blamed cus you're alive, you'll get blamed when you die

Blamed for nothin when you walk down the street
Get blamed for yer clothes and the boots on yer feet
Blamed for the way you cut yer hair
You get blamed in all their stares
You get blamed!
