Cockney Rejects
Album • 1980
GO! It's a dark place over there the seats, and the stands are bear, but you remember not long ago, all the times that we battled there. The sun, it shines right on the gutter And you remember that he was there, And you should know, right there in the fold, that you grabbed him by his hair. War on the terraces (War on the terraces!) It was war on the terraces (War on the terraces) The local pub, it stands silent And all of this town, will be soon and you remember the pints we would sink and sing "the fuzz is watching you" The youth remember them wagons that took us straight down the nick when we would sing back to them, don't it make you feel like a prick? (CHORUS) So you're looking up, at the terrace and smile, yeah it breaks your face. And to the younger generation, we'll be here to take your place!

here i am alone again i'm trying to find my way i think i've looked just everywhere to find that brand new day i'm walking down a rainy street i'm staring straight ahead blackness there before my eyes nothing in my head there's nothing in my head i found myself in the underworld i'don't know what the score is i found myself in the underworld what can i do can i do boredom sets in easily if you've got nothing to do i can't listen to anyone least of all is you you start to fight start to scream lose your sense of control is it a real or is it a dream i, i just don't know i just don't know ignorance ain't hard to find if you know where to look a lot of mouth from boring prat and a nose stuck in a book
Hear that cry throughout the streets, we know just what it means And even to the ignorant, it ‘aignt what it seems Through every city backstreets, the kids from all around They all come to join the fun, cause they know the sound They all try to ignore us, but we wont let 'em win The wankers try to put us down, but we will smash them in Cause we all say, that they're full of shit And we're running down the backstreets Oi! Oi! Oi! And we're running unafraid Oi! Oi! Oi! Cause we all know that's the sound of the streets And we're running down the backstreets Oi! Oi! Oi! Got our martins on our feet Oi! Oi! Oi! And you're all running down the backstreets with me The kids they come from everywhere, the east end’s all around Cause they all know what it means, when they hear the sound You know what to do, when you hear the call Put your boots and earrings on, and kick down that fucking wall You can listen to politicians, they'll lead you astray You're gonna see the light and your gonna see the way And we all know that there's nothing like us And we're running down the backstreets Oi! Oi! Oi! And we're never giving in Oi! Oi! Oi! Cause we all know that we're gonna fucking win And we're running down the backstreets Oi! Oi! Oi! And we're here to stay Oi! Oi! Oi! And we all know that the firm are on they're way They all try to ignore us, but we wont let 'em win The wankers try to put us down, but we will smash them in Cause we all say, that they're full of shit And we're running down the backstreets Oi! Oi! Oi! And we're running unafraid Oi! Oi! Oi! Cause we all know that that's the sound of the streets And we're running down the backstreets Oi! Oi! Oi! Got our martins on our feet Oi! Oi! Oi! And you're all running down the backstreet with me, With me.

People say I'm crazy But I love what I do I don't care who I maim or hurt As long as I see it through Hear the sound of the guns Fire at someone Listen to them run from me Just an urban guerilla Looking for some fun And I'm gonna kill someone Walking through the jungle In my army greens I'm looking for enemy Some folk call it anarchy I just call it fun Don't give a fuck about the law I wanna kill someone

Ain't got no regard for the latest fad A worm out leathers all he's ever had Filthy ol' headband around his head Says "man' I'm into Motorhead He don't give a shit about you and me He's in love with a 750 cc Don't give a fuck about progression We've still gotta learn our lesson He's the rocker Everywhere he goes people Turn their nose They look at his hair look at his clothes He don't give a shit he's used to it And he don't give a fuck about me and you He doesn't believe in god above Says he's into peace and love Ask him no questions he'll tell you no lies That's why a rocker never dies He's the rocker

So they say that we're on the way out They say it's all just hype Just take a look of fear in their eyes Cause it's the in thing to abuse us Behind our backs of course They shroud the truth With their own brand of lies But we don't care what they say We will never be put away Cause we're all having the time of our lives Cause we're gonna do just anything We're gonna sing what we wanna sing and we'll wade through anything that you say We're all having too much fun We can't stop we've only just begun We're gonna carry on for another day Now you keep giving us verbal When we're not around When we're there you don't utter a sound You'd better stop it You ain't getting nowhere and it's too easy to smash You right into the ground Right into the ground
