Paroles:

"Wonderful World"

Just left school cant find no work
Be a building labourer or an office clerk
Cant believe the men youve seen
On the scrapheap and youre only 17

What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is

Standing on the corner waiting for a bus
Old Bill come and try to nick you for SUS
You try tell them that youve done nothing wrong
They tell you not to sing the same song

What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is

Standing in the pub on your own for the night
Group of nutters try to pick a fight
You can try and plead for your life
Theyre still cut you with a fucking great knife

What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is

"1984"

Britains in trouble, countrys bled dry
handicapped and eldery have all gotta die
no one fights the system, fight with each other
the combine is laughing, scared of big brother

What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
in 1984

Rats leave the sinking ship, theyve got their money made
third world countries, sending us aid
people queue up just to get their ration
not the birth, but the death of a nation

What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
in 1984

Will there be some heroes,into 85
when the bomb is dropped,and how do you stay alive
Orwell said it all, he looked the future in the face
Giant test tube babies,build a brand new race

What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
in 1984

"A.C.A.B."

Hanging around with my mates one night
We got in a little fight
Geezer come with a knife in his fist
I got cut along with the wrist said

A.C.A.B., A.C.A.B., A.C.A.B.
All cops are bastards

Coppers come up & say what's the matter with you?
now they see what we can do
Next thing I knew I was in a cell
all my mates are in there as well

I had a court date to plead my case
they had delight at the look in my face
they said we're gonna put you away
I said all I had to say

"Evil"

I like breaking arms and legs
snapping spines and wringing necks
now i'll knife you in the back
Kick your bones until they crack

I'm Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil

Jump up and down upon your head
Kick you around 'til your dead
Fill your body full of lead
See the roads turn to red

I'm Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil

I don't like trendy cunts who pose
Gonna punch you in the Nose
Stick my Marten in your crotch
Don't like you, you're too much

I'm Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil

I'm Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil

"Clockwork Skinhead"

Wearing braces, the red, white, and blue
doing what he thinks he ought to do
Used to be a punk and a mod too
Or is it just a phase he's going through

He's a Clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead- got no choice
He's a Clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
clockwork skinhead-One of the boys

Take him to the pub, buy him a beer
Tell him what he wants to hear
Wind him up like clockwork toy
wants to be a man but he's just a boy

He's a Clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead- got no choice
He's a Clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
clockwork skinhead-One of the boys

Believes everything the papers say
What's he gonna be today
What is it hip to be
Will he be himself or will he copy me?

He's a Clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead- got no choice
He's a Clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
clockwork skinhead-One of the boys

"Chaos"

Do you remember in 1969?
Seeing all the skinheads standing in a line
Foaming at the mouth, Waiting for a fight
High boots, cropped hair, what a fuckin sight

Come back of the skinhead
come back of the boot
People that we don't beat up
We're gonna fucking shoot
We are the new breed, we will have our say
we are the new breed, we ain't gonna die

Trouble east London
Trouble in the street
On the street corners
Where the gang still meets
Talking about the weekend
What they're gonna do?
If you aint careful
They are gonna do you!

Come back of the skinhead
come back of the boot
People that we don't beat up
We're gonna fucking shoot
We are the new breed, we will have our say
we are the new breed, we ain't gonna die

Chaos in the city
Civil war now
Skinheads taking over
Like skinheads know how
Skinhead with his boots on
Nobodys fool
Skinheads taking over
Chaos is the rule!
Chaos, chaos, chaos - dont give a toss
Chaos, chaos, chaos - dont give a toss!

Do you remember in 1969?
Seeing all the skinheads standing in a line
Foaming at the mouth, Waiting for a fight
High boots, cropped hair, what a fuckin sight

Come back of the skinhead
come back of the boot
People that we don't beat up
We're gonna fucking shoot
We are the new breed, we will have our say
we are the new breed, we ain't gonna die

Chaos, chaos, chaos - dont give a toss
Chaos, chaos, chaos - dont give a toss!
