started back when I was seventeen About a year before God Save the Queen We didn’t give a toss what the papers say To me punk rock was here to stay A few years on Oi hit our streets A punk rock sound with an East End beat As the skins and punks stormed the UK streets The wankers on our scene made a quick retreat
Chorus Oi, oi, oi, we’ll never surrender Oi, oi, oi, we’re here forever Oi, oi, oi, let’s stick together Let’s stand as one forever and ever
We’d go to work, nick a few quid We’d look forward to the weekend gig But you looked down on the street By Joe Public and the country elite But with you’re No1 cut you feel ten feet tall And with you’re spiky hair we’re no-ones fool With hand on heart we’re full of pride We walk our streets with our head held high
Chorus
A generation ‘as past and we’re still here Seen some great bands and drunk a load of beer Chant our choruses, play our music loud We’ll stand as one, forever proud A generation ‘as past and we’re still here Seen some great bands and drunk a load of beer Chant our choruses, play our music loud We’ll stand as one, forever proud
