Guttersnipe "Join The Strike"

Guttersnipe "Join The Strike" CD (1999) Burning Heart.

 

SKINHEAD

He is hated, he is feared - He's the public enemy number one
Lies is spread by the media, only his pride keeps him alive
He is just proud of his country - Nothing more, nothing less
Neither red nor racist - Only pure Skinhead

(Estribillo)

He's a Skinhead - He loves to fight
He's a Skinhead - It's his way of life
He's a Skinhead - Never say die
He's a Skinhead - It's his way of life

He's a Skin and he is proud, every Saturday down the football ground
Looking for some aggro, looking for some fun
Even with the odds against him, you'll never see him run
Violence is his way of life, he loves to kick the boot in every night
Neither red nor racist - Only pure Skinhead

(Estribillo)
... Only pure Skinhead!

JOIN THE STRIKE

So come on, come on and join the strike - Workers unite
Come on, join the strike - Fight for your right
Hey you workingman, who's tired and angry
Now's the time that we must strike back
We're working day and night for nothing
We almost break our backs
Fat bosses at the top just use us
We're not taking it no more

(Estribillo)

Politicians and the union don't care
They're cowards, so fuck them, too
We want some respect and fair pay
We want the job to be a safe place
Yound and old, man and woman
Stand up and raise your voice

PEOPLE THINK

We live in a sick world where rapists go free
But if you're a Skinhead, they won't let you be
The pigs are always on our tail
They won't be happy until they see us in jail - In jail ...

(Estribillo)

People think we are what we hate - But we must never lose our faith
We will fight until the end - This is for real, it ain't no trend

People see a racist when they see the big boots
But they know nothing about the Skinhead roots
They've seen it on TV, heard it on the news
They've only got the info the media choose - Choose ...
(Estribillo)
We live in a sick world where rapists go free
But if you're a Skinhead, they won't let you be
The pigs are always on our tail
They won't be happy until they see us in jail - In jail ...
(Estribillo)
... No trend! (2x)
... This is for real, it ain't no trend!

4Q

I am not like everybody else
Cause I have learned  to think for myself
I never take a politician's advise
Cause I can see right through their lies

(Estribillo)

4Q - Don't tell us what to do
... We hate you
4Q - Don't tell us what to do

They have tricked us too many times
We can't keep on believing their lies
I wanna live my life my own way
I don't give a fuck about what they say

(Estribillo)

We don't want anyone to tell us what to do
Whatever you say, we won't listen to you
Oi! is not for the politicians
All you politicians, this one's for you ...

LIVE HARD DIE FREE

Once in your life you gotta choose
What you gonna do and what you gonna be
Do you wanna live like common people
Or do you wanna do it the hard way
Working Class, Oi! Oi!-music, Skins and Punks
Football, beer, tattoos and breaking the law

(Estribillo)

Our time will come, our time will come ...
Live hard - Die free

It's better to live here and now
Than dying bored old and  grey
Stand outside society's rules
Gathered together using alternative tools
The power is in your hand
Stand up for the good, stand up for the bad

 

VIOLENCE IN THE AIR

There's violence everywhere you go,
Down the pub or at a gig, there's always some aggro,
You can run but you can't hide, cause there's no escape
We're living in a violent world, we've all been a part to create

(Estribillo)

Violence on the street - Violence in the air
Violence everywhere I go - There's violence in the air

The young kids wanna have a say
For many, violence is the only way
It's their only way to show that they exist
It's their only way to resist

WOOAWOO

He is the boss at the factory - Wooawoo
Always looking down on me - Wooawoo
That's his way to show his might
I'm always wrong, he's always right
Do this, do that, treat me like a fool - Wooawoo
You think we'll follow your every rule - Wooawoo
But when we meet you in the midnight hour
You will see who's got the power


(Estribillo)

We don't care what you say or do
Cause you need us more than we need you

You've got yourself a decent life - Wooawoo
And I live my life on the edge of a knife - Wooawoo
You think I'm stupid but I'm not
Cause I'm happy with what I've got
I'm stuck at the factory floor - Wooawoo
And the work I do is a real bore - Wooawoo
But I don't care cause in the end
It will get me money for the weekend


(Estribillo)
But when we meet you in the midnight hour
You will see who's got the power
(Estribillo)
He is the boss at the factory - Wooawoo
Always looking down on me - Wooawoo
That's his way to show his might
I'm always wrong, he's always right

I HATE YOU AND YOU HATE ME

You and me, now we are all alone
For the first time in our lives
I feel a strange feeling inside
And I am sure you feel the same
(Estribillo)

From the first time I met you - I hate you and you hate me
I felt this feeling inside of me - I hate you and you hate me
You're the beauty and I am the beast - I hate you and you hate me
And it feels like this will last forever - I hate you and you hate me
I am stuck here alone with you
And I have nowhere to run
I hate you more for every day
I just hope that you'll go away
(Estribillo)
You and me, now we are all alone
For the first time in our lives
I feel a strange feeling inside
And I am sure you feel the same
(Estribillo)
... Hate me (2x)
... I hate you and you hate me
... Hate me (2x)
... I hate you and you hate me

STREETFIGHT IN HELSINKI

Went to Finland for a gig
Meet some friends and have a good time
Drinking beer and getting drunk
Drinking more and we're feeling fine
When we staggered out from the pub
A gang was waiting for us
(Estribillo)

Streetfight in Helsinki - We were too drunk to fight
Streetfight in Helsinki - Got beat up by some stupid fucks
Sami was knocked down to the ground
And they kicked him in the head
Jocke was so fucking drunk
He fell over his feet and landed on the face
Another Skinhead-mate was hurt
He got blood all over his shirt
(Estribillo)
When the coppers came we got the blame
The others walked away free
But we'll drink 'em to death in hell - Revenge!

POLICE MISTAKE

The police goes out on a Saturday night
They go downtown in search for a fight
The streets were safe, so they created a riot
The riot ends up in a mindless shot
I don't trust the police ...
A policeman shot a kid in the head
And a kid will spend ten years on water and bread
The policeman said we were there too late
When we arrived, he had killed his mate
I don't trust the police ...
Police mistake ... (3x)
And they will do it again - But they won't take the blame
Police mistake ... (3x)
And they will do it again ...

LET YOUR YEAH BE YEAH (Jimmy Clift cover)

You keep telling me yes
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it
You're giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is

Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Becuse I'm on my guard and I'm watching you from head to toe
You better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no

You wear a plastic smile
I know by you eyes
You speak with indefinite style
You're telling me lies
You've got to face reality
What is wrong with you and me
Why can't you free your honesty

Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Becuse I'm on my guard and I'm watching you from head to toe
You better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no

UCFS

It's Friday night and the firm is around
We're drinking beers and we're having fun
We put our boots on and we go downtown
Half an hour later, we are sitting in a pub

(Estribillo)

We are the Umeå City Firm Skins - Oi! Oi! Oi!
We live for today, tomorrow is gone
We're living our lives and we're having fun
We are the Umeå City Firm Skins - Oi! Oi! Oi!
Filled with anger, pride and sins

We ain't many - We are few
But I would run if I was you
Cause we're filled with anger, filled with pride
Bonehead, bonehead, run, run, run ...

(Estribillo)
It's Friday night and the firm is around
We're drinking beers and we're having fun
We put our boots on and we go downtown
Half an hour later, we are sitting in a pub
(Estribillo)
We're the kings, the kings of the Skins
We are Umeå City Firm Skins
