Punx and Skins The new breed stand there tall and proud To the cause they are vowed No matter what our critics say Punk the movement is here to stay Chorus: Punx and skins are here to stay 'cause we don't care what the assholes say Punx and skins are here to stay 'cause we don't care what the assholes say "He's a violent stupid lout" They've no idea what the hell it's about They try to explain but they ain´t got a clue Let's all hope that they never do Chorus: So on we go, still oppressed Trying to stop our lives being messed We'll carry on making our noise With crack aways and punk and skin Chorus: Chorus:

3rd World War Everywhere you look it's just the same From north to south you see a fucking war They say it's fun to kill someone But we have no chance in a third world war Chorus: 3rd world war 3rd world war is coming soon 3rd world war 3rd world war is coming soon Maybe in the afternoon USA and Russia have their nuclear weapon They'll kill us all if we don't fight back I don't wanna be a soldier, I don't wanna fight for my country I don't wanna see the whole shit blow up Chorus: Fuck the wars Fuck the wars Fuck the wars Fuck the wars Repeat second verse Chorus:

Don't Give Up Punkrockers and skinheads We must be together Fight against the government Not with each other Punkrockers and skinheads We must be together Fight against the government Not with each other Chorus: Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up the fight Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up the fight Punkrockers and skinheads Don't get fooled by the bosses Don't give them money or power Just give them nothing Chorus: Punkrockers and skinheads Do something against the unemployment Do something now Before it's too late Chorus:

Sick 02:48
Sick Electric meters gone again No money on the side I feel my temper rising fast I'm just like Jekyll and Hyde I wanna smash a roller I wanna steal some dough I wanna go to a polling boot And just vote no Chorus: We ain't Nazis, we ain't reds Just ordinary people Sick, sick, sick of being mislead Bohman throw us on the dole Another fucking statistic But Palme ain't much better He makes me more sick Palme is supposed to be our man The voice of working class But he all line his pocket And sit on his fat arse Chorus: Electric meters gone again No money on the side I feel my temper rising fast I'm just like Jekyll and Hyde 'cept this time it's no party This time it's for real This time the working classes Will show the bosses how we feel Chorus: You lead us up the garden path To poverty and hunger But you can only push us so far And we ain't going under... We ain't going under We ain't going under We ain't going under We ain't going under Chorus:

Nowhere 02:51
Nowhere We're nowhere You only talk for the few You haven't kept anything Empty words are all we hear Filled with anger, filled with fear Chorus: We don't think you really care And we don't think that's so fair But so what? you don't care We're nowhere I look at you on television You're going to make a big decision Tho' you don't know what's going on And you don't care about right or wrong Chorus: You've always got the right clothes You know exactly how to talk I don't know what you say But I know its a lie Chorus: You're making decisions for the crowd Tho' you don't care what's it about 'cause all your care is about your career And the crowd of friends that you're near You got yourself the high pay But it makes no difference anyway 'cause you never ever listen to the youth And you never ever told us the truth You never told us the truth The truth, you never told us the truth You're nowhere Chorus:
7.
That's Life 02:29
That's Life Every day is just the same Always someone who tries to give me the blame No matter what I do, no matter what I say It's always the same thing anyway Chorus: They're trying to make me small They're trying to make me crawl And I, I don't belong No I, I don't belong That's right, I don't belong That's life, I don't belong At all Don't do this, don't do that It's always me who takes the crap My girlfriends crying, my mothers begging It makes no different what I'm saying Chorus: I don't belong to you You don't belong to me I don't belong to anyone So fuck off and let me be Out somewhere having fun They're telling me to shut it down Why are they always picking on me? I just wished they'd let me be Chorus: Playing music, having a good time My neighbours want me to turn it down They hate me and my style And they hope I'll move away Chorus:

City of Pollution Can you see the chimneys down in the harbour? Can you see the smoke from the fucking chimneys? Can you smell the polluted air that poisoning us every day? We must stop the pollution before were dead Chorus: City of pollution City of pollution City of pollution City of pollution Repeat verse Chorus: Repeat verse Chorus:

Last Survivors In the beginning we we're takin' over But now you're running 'round being sober You said to me: it's all a joke Do you think you're funny? Stupid bloke The last survivors Before it was trash and life's a riot But now you're sitting home and being quiet Letting the crap just pass by And never thinking why? Chorus: Survival! You and I Survival! We'll never die Survival! We'll survive Survive! We are the last survivors You say to me I'm acting strange No use fighting, there'll never be a change But we'll keep on fighting 'til the end 'cause we've got something to defend The last survivors We're proud of what we are and what we're doing Tho' you mean we're lost in ruin Listen! We don't care what you say Our heads held high and we'll survive Chorus: So now you've got a descent life With a proper home and a pretty wife While I'm wasting my time Without the lust of being someone The last survivors I ain't never gonna settle down 'cause I like the way of messin' around Ok! You're a winner and I'm a loser So what the fuck? We ain't got no future Chorus:
11.
1984 (Reality Today) So the governments they come and go So what the fuck, it's the same show So many people blinded by their lies They haven't seen the reality of today So the future is an unwritten story But it's got the power and it's got the glory I ain't got no future and it's the same for you So why don't you fuck off, fuck you Before it was 83, now it's 84 What the fuck I'm living for? I ain't got no future and it's the same for you But what the fuck can we do? Chorus: 1981 wasn't that fun 1982 not a shit for me and you 1983 what's it gonna be in 1984? Is it worth living for? The future is an unwritten story But it's got the power and it's got the glory It's our future which we ain't control People in misery and people on the dole Chorus: The cold war is here to stay - reality today! And it's always gonna be that way - reality today! Until hell break loose - reality today! It's up to us so you'd better choose - reality today! So the governments they come and go So what the fuck, it's the same show So many people blinded by their lies They haven't seen the reality of today Chorus:
12.
Never Give up Clever people gives me advice That I've got to cheat to survive Lies and corruptions all around Think about it and it gets you down Chorus: Never ever, never give up Never ever, never give up Stand up and fight Never stop smashing your head to the wall Stand up straight tho' you're feeling small Don't believe when they say you're wrong Never give up, just keep fighting on Chorus: They're treating us just like slaves We're just some marks in their play For how much longer can we let them go on that way? It's about our future but the fight is today Chorus:
13.
Boys will be Boys We're running wild just for fun Don't tell us to grow up, shut it down! Repeat We're just looking for some action And always gets the girls attraction Chorus: Boys will be boys Will be boys, will be boys Always will be Boys will be boys Will be boys, will be boys Always We're out on the street in the middle of the night You're jealous on us so you wanna fight Repeat We're all messed up and we're havin' fun So you can never put us down Chorus: We're on a party wild as hell What we're doing you can't tell Repeat We just live from day to day What's the point? We're going to die anyway Chorus:

Unemployed 83 You were always reminding me about how stupid I was But whatever you said I didn't give a toss You promised me a proper job and a proper pay But when I joined the union, you sacked me You were giving me orders, do this and do that I was working me sick while you were getting fat You were the boss and I was your slave And you were always counting the money That you made Chorus: Ain't got no job, ain't got no money Do you really think that's so funny? You were giving orders what to do but now I'm thru with you, fuck you I'm so useless, I'm so worthless So now I'm unemployed I'm so useless, I'm so worthless So now I'm unemployed You were giving me orders, do this and do that I was working me sick while you were getting fat You were the boss and I was your slave And you were always counting the money That you made Chorus: Sometimes I'd like to kick in your brain 'Cause all your orders were driving me insane Now I no longer take more of your crap And I didn't give a damn when you got me sacked Chorus:

Unga & arga 02:11
Unga och arga Vi e ungdomen av idag Dom tror vi ställer upp på deras jävla krav Ingenting gör dom för oss Mot pamparna ska vi alltid slåss Unga och arga Dom delar upp oss i samhällsgrupper Sen skickar dom ut oss i arbetstrupper Samhället är så jävla fel Så jävla fel att jag tror jag får spel Refräng: Vi e dom unga Unga och arga, unga och arga Vi e dom unga Unga och arga, unga och arga Vi e dom unga Unga och arga, unga och arga Vi e dom unga Unga och arga, unga och arga Ingen chans ger dom oss unga Fan vad jag tycker dom e dumma Nu ska vi sätta hårt emot hårt Förena oss ska väl inte bli så svårt Unga och arga Vår värsta fiende är samhället Om nåt går fel så får vi skället Dom bryr sig aldrig om vad vi säger Dom skiter i oss, eller Refräng:
