Carry No Banner 1st verse We have been skinheads always straight For many years with all our mates Never racist, neither red We never listened to what people said Bridge (2x) This is our life, this is our way And it will always be the same (Oi, Oi, Oi) Chorus (2x) You can call us what you want We will never bow to you We will always be who we are And we will never - carry a banner 2nd verse Whatever you try to do to us We’ll stand our ground, always strong All the lies you tell about us We’ll prove them to be wrong Bridge (2x) Chorus (2x)

Excuse Me 02:32
Excuse me 1st verse Don’t tell me what my lyrics mean (Because) sometimes things are just what they seem No need to interpret when the message is clear Why don’t you just try and believe what you hear Chorus Excuse me; I don’t want to be rude But … Fuck you and your attitude! I’m mostly nice but this feels just good So … Fuck you and your attitude! 2nd verse You should start to believe some people mean what they say Even though this might have never been your way (Instead) you like to spread lies and post wrong facts ‘cause you’re a snake in the grass and a bloody rat Chorus Bridge Has it ever crossed your mind that your opinion means fuck all? Maybe you go looking for a different playground and start to grow some balls!

Fight Back 02:55
Fight Back Fight back! You’ve got to fight back! - Fight for what you believe! Fight back! You’ve got to fight back! – Never get down on your knees! Fight back! You’ve got to fight back! – Even with your back against the wall! Fight back! You’ve got to fight back! – Never let them make you crawl! Of course it’s hard to make a stand when no one’s on your side But still it cannot be an option for you to run and hide This is your chance to make a change and you should take it now Show ‘em that you your no coward – let your enemies know Chorus 2nd verse It sure is hard to make a stand if you can’t tell friend or foe But sometimes you have got to fight – toe to toe Fight back no matter how many foes you have to face To fight and lose is better than to run and live in disgrace

Innocent Victim 1st verse A lonely boy without a father Grows up with the problems of a mother Who doesn’t love him, who doesn’t care Who doesn’t even know that he is there Marked by teachers, he doesn’t fit in Not given a chance, frustration wins Nobody cares about what he’s missing Because they all refuse to listen Chorus (2x) Victim – innocent victim An innocent victim of this world Victim – innocent victim An innocent victim, it’s not his fault 2nd verse Being rejected and pushed aside He buries his feelings deep inside Learns to hate, learns to fight Nobody tells him what’s wrong or right The correction system knows his name Drugs and violence are his game He becomes a number in the can Before this boy grows into a man Chorus (2x) Chorus (2x) 3rd verse In and out far too many times He loses count of the ruined lives Until one night with 20 years He blows his brains out – and no one sheds a tear Chorus (2x)

The Guv'nors 02:42
The Guv’nors 1st verse You were the legendary heroes of the neighbourhood You took care of the helpless like Robin Hood If there was trouble, people always turned to you Because everybody knew, you were the toughest crew 2nd verse You were game as hell, you ruled the streets And on the terraces you could not be beaten Even outnumbered you always stood your ground And the neighbourhood was safe while you were around Chorus (2x) You were, you were the Guv’nors Always ready to ruck You were, you were the Guv’nors You never gave a fuck 3rd verse You have settled down but you’re still around In the local pub you can be found (Even) from your seats you have an ear on the street And you will be there when the people are in need Chorus (2x) You are, you are the Guv’nors Always ready to ruck You are, you are the Guv’nors You still don’t give a fuck 4th verse You are the legendary heroes of the neighbourhood You take care of the helpless like Robin Hood If there is trouble, people still turn to you Because everybody knows you’re still the toughest crew Chorus (2x) You are, you are the Guv’nors Always ready to ruck You are, you are the Guv’nors You still don’t give a fuck

Trendy Wankers 1st verse Slim fit bomber Skinny drain pipe jeans Follow the latest fashion Is what your life means You know fuck all You’re part of no scene To have an identity Should be your dream Chorus Mainstream fashion, mainstream fashion Mainstream fashion is all you’ve got Mainstream fashion, mainstream fashion You’ve got no style – so fuck you lot 2nd verse To be different Is what you fear If you’re on your own You’re shy as a deer You are like sheep Love to follow the herd What you’ll never live to see Is your voice to be heard Chorus Mainstream opinion, mainstream opinion Mainstream opinion is all you’ve got Mainstream opinion, mainstream opinion You’ve got no brain – so fuck you lot 3rd verse You’ve got shit for brains You believe your own lies You live a shallow life You’re all I despise You’re the copy of a copy There’s billions just like you You will never stand out And no one will remember you

Vale of Plenty 1st verse I see old people walking the street collecting bottles from the litter bin They have to queue at charities for extra food to fill their fridge They worked away all their lives dreaming of places they will never see They sacrificed their strength, their minds and now they have to sacrifice their grace Bridge I can’t believe that a lifetime’s work in the end just doesn’t pay I can’t believe that our social state is supposed to work this way Chorus We live in a vale of plenty where the distribution fails We live in a vale of plenty where access is denied – to most 2nd verse I see kids of parents who break their backs just to make ends meet Who only wish for a happy childhood without troubles and enough to eat They raise their siblings, have to fend for themselves but at night they can only cry They would love to perform well in life but they neither have the chance nor the time Bridge I can’t believe that in this world a child can’t be a child anymore I can’t believe that we forget about those who need our protection the most Chorus Solo Chorus
