Paroles:

"Headbanger"

I can't resist loud music
I could hear it until I drop
I've got scruffy jeans and bikers boots
and my hair is like a mop

Headbanger

Say that I'm a drop out
the fact is that you're right
I'd love to watch my ears drop off
Cause I'm headbanging all night

"Badman"

so you you tell me why you always let me down
and you you tell me why you give me the run-around
there's no answer for half the things that you've done
so just you remember that i'll always owe you one

you're a badman

one day you'll realise just wot you've done to me
and one day you'll realise wot you've done to your family
yeah you've gotta, gotta be the worse player in the league
everyone they know that you never buy a round

you're a badman

you treat your mother as bad as bad could be
you even pay your deadly debts out of the gas money
you ain't got much ball control, your own biggest fan
so just you remember you're a dirty no good bad man

you're a badman, you're a badman

go on pinch your old man's money go on
dont turn out for the football, you're a badman
leave your bird on her own, never tell her anything
never give her no money to buy either, you're a badman
your dirty. your no good, you're a rotter
and we all know that, you're a badman

you're a badman

"Fighting In The Streets"

You're walking along quietly
There's the sound of running feet
You turn around the corner
There's fighting on the street
See all the kids they wanna good time
They all wanna get stuck in
Don't know, don't care
if they're fighting for a cause
AS long as they get one in

Go

We're fighting in the streets

You all look for solutions
But you can rack your brains
No matter what the gov't do
Its never ever gonna change
Wankers hand hand out leaflets
They'll never ever let it be
I don't care what they do
But they better not come near me

Go

We're fighting in the streets

You're walking along quietly
There's the sound of running feet
You turn around the corner
There's fighting on the street
See all the kids they wanna good time
They all wanna get stuck in
Don't know, dont care
if they're fighting for a cause
AS long as they get one in

We're always fighting in the streets
We're always fighting in the streets
We're always fighting in the streets
We're always fighting in the streets

"Shitter"

Shitter look what you've done to me
Shitter just can't you see

you left me when we sprayed that car
couldn't find you, you ran so far
geezer gave me a good slap
now I wanna get you back

you're really gone and done it now
you left me when we had a row
you weren't there to help me
you was back at home eating your tea

you left me when we sprayed that car
couldn't find you, you ran so far
you're the biggest shitter I've never seen
you're the biggest bottle there has ever been

"Join The Rejects"

Here comes the new punk

Do you remember 1977
Daddy of the gang said
that you'll go to heaven
every word a lie and none the truth
so here's a message for todays youth

Join the Rejects and get yourself killed

I wanna go back to where it all began
I wanna do a gig in my back garden
wanna have a laugh before the press get in
if you give'em half a chance
they'll kill the fucking thing

"Police Car"

I like punk and i like sham
I got nicked over at west ham!
I'm a fool i guess its true
For all i know, I'll be in the back with you!
In a Police Car! Police Car! Police Car! Police Car!
Police come in one hour later.
They've been looking for a guy named Freddy Jesper
Show me my freedom, they know i lie
For all we knew, we were going for a ride.
In the back of a Police Car! Police Car! Police Car! Police Car!

"Are You Ready To Ruck?"

ARE YOU READY TO RUCK!!!

There aint gonna be no sentiment
I dont like what you just said
Now I'm gonna smash your head

R-R-R-R-R are you ready to ruck

"Where The Hell Is Babylon?"

No matter what the people say
This song leads the way
It's the order of the day
From your boss DJ
I can't see it
Right from the top
To the very last drop
Where the Hell is Babylon?

Where the Hell is Babylon? I just wanna know
Heard so much about the place, and now I wanna go

Where the Hell is Babylon? Does such a place exist?
Is it real, or is it a myth, or is it back there in the mist?

Alright!

Where the Hell is Babylon? I wanna go today
But before I leave the house, I've gotta know the way

Where the Hell is Babylon? I've heard it's lots of fun
Can I get there on me bike, or straight up the M1?

Alright! Lets Go! Alright! Lets Go! Alright! Where the Hell is Babylon!?

Where the Hell is Babylon? I just wanna know.
Heard so much about the place, and now I wanna go

Where the Hell is Babylon? Does such a place exist?
Is it real, or is it a myth, or is it back there in the mist?

Where the Hell? Where the Hell? Where the Hell?
Where the Hell? Where the Hell? Where the Hell is Babylon?
