Oi ! Skinhead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Makes you feel tough
makes you think your a bad ass
fell like your part of something
like your what you grasp
do what others do
part of the bad ass group
where oppression seems to be wrong
unless its f*cking used by you
skinheads and Nazis
which are just the f*cking same
violence and depression
under a different name
beating up on a black virgin
beating up on gays
when I try and talk to you
I get smacked up across the face
and I say. . . . .
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh oh oh oh oh
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh oh oh oh oh
Original skins weren't violent
they stood against mistreatment
shaved there heads
and they were booed to make a political statement
fought with their minds
and not their fists they started a in wave
its been taken and altered
into a violent gang of
skinheads and Nazis
which are just the f*cking same
violence and depression
under a different name
beating up on a black virgin
beating up on gays
when I try and talk to you
I get smacked up f*cking across the face
and I say. . . . .
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
I've stereotyped and I'm sorry to the true skin head
some of your boys are starting give you a bad name
punks and skins lets unite again
we'll get f*cking it
we'll fight the real enemy with our mind
and we'll put down our fists
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oi Oi Oh Skinhead
Oi Oi Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
(Oi, f*cking Oi, f*cking Oi, OI OI OI)
