Working class Skin Heads Lined the streets
Of London streets In the 60s and 70s
Solidarity and shaven heads Were the order of the day
Dr Martins braces and jeans
Working class pride From the left wing
They started to sing
Mod fashion and Jamaican music
White and black Rude boys on a mission
From poor backgrounds
Trying to make there mark In the British dark
Ska , Rocksteady , reggae, Soul, rhythm and blues They gave clues
70s came It was fair game
Punk culture came on the scene
2 tone came home On the microphone
Black and white In bands across the land
80s came and split em again
And yeah Neo nazis and national front came on the scene its obscene
neo nazi skinheads in Europe took over the scene
I could scream
Cos the early skin heads
Enjoyed Ska , Rocksteady , reggae, Soul, rhythm and blues
They gave us clues
Cos suggs and Madness Came on the scene Makin me dream
With a one step beyond
From London to Manchester
Kids like me Were takin the knee
To a 2 tone and Madness knee
And I can see Kids in the 70s and 80s
Grew up in a wild mix Of music culture and arts
So yeah the skin heads They got a bad name today
From white supremacists
Neo nazis in Europe and the UK Just took over the scene
I could scream
Cos from the start The skin head movement Started out
As the working class style
Where music of black and white Came together
It was clever
So yeah bands like Madness and the specials
came out of the dark
And made there mark In a positive way
And I can say It gave us hope for today
Black and white Coming together today In a British way
So neo nazi skin heads
Just stay away
Don’t want to see you today
