When I wake up in the morning and I'm all alone
I've got my boots and my braces and my hair's all gone
Got to go out into the world
Got to make sure I take care out there

Car pulls up and we're against the wall
We will fight and we will never fall
Heads held high and fists clenched tight
Come any closer gonna show you our might
Cause we will never fall

When I wake up in the morning and I'm all alone
I've got my boots and my braces and my hair's all gone
Got to go out into the world
Got to make sure I take care out there

. . .


All this weight that's put on my back
What's it gonna take to make it crack
It takes all I've got just to get by
Can't get ahead no matter what I try
Think everything I do is wrong
And that I have waited for too long
To do what's right and be a man
You could never understand

I won't break my stride
I'll never lose my pride

Well all I've got it's all for me
I won't live for your society
It takes all I've got just to make ends meet
So what I've got it belongs to me
The ones that matter stick by my side
And give me strength to stay in stride

. . .


21 years of living under the hammer
But there's still a chance for me
Take my pride and traditions and country
But i won't let them choose for me
No i won't stay in this ditch they've dug for me
There is another road I can take
After 21 years of living under the hammer
This man will never break

21 years of an iron hand
Oppression of the working class is their plan
You might never understand
But after 21 years you'll never break this man

I have done my time in the factories and the sweat shops
I know that there is something more
But every time that i come up for air
Another situation slams the door
Like my father before me I have owned what I got
Never taken anything on the dole
When you lose your pride and give into the system
The system steals your soul

. . .


It's summer time and the country's on the line
The lads are on the streets and the riots doing fine
Picking up the pieces after the night
Picking up the pieces for another fight
The bricks beat down in the boys in blue
There's no escape they're coming for you
The walls come crashing 'round your head
It's war on the streets and they're running red

Police are running facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heat
Police are running facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heat

The crowd is screaming you can hear all their cries
There's no way to stop tear-gas clouds
Police are running, facing defeat
Tears are falling in the summer heat

Police are running facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heat
Police are running facing defeat
Cities burning in the summer heat

The bricks beat down in the boys in blue
There's no escape, they're coming for you
The walls come crashing 'round your head
It's war on the streets and they're running red

. . .


I just can't believe this country today
People always trying to put me to shame
Always gotta worry about the other guy
People always trying to take away your pride

Oi Oi Oi we're skinheads
Oi Oi Oi we kick fucking heads
Oi Oi Oi we'll survive
Oi Oi Oi we will survive

Whenever we're alone we always collide
With people that we know are from the other side
We always gotta profit just to stay alive
We'll never give in we'll never lose our pride

Oi Oi Oi we're skinheads
Oi Oi Oi we kick fucking heads
Oi Oi Oi we'll survive
Oi Oi Oi we will survive

I just can't believe this country today
People always trying to put me to shame
Always gotta worry about the other guy
Someone's always trying to take away your pride

Oi Oi Oi we're skinheads
Oi Oi Oi we kick fucking heads
Oi Oi Oi we'll survive
Oi Oi Oi we will survive

. . .


I stood in the middle
Watching the scene all around me
People fighting in the streets
For their given right to be free
As the walls fell down in Germany
I proudly watched them win
You know that it's true
You can never keep us in

This is the hour
This is the day
This is the hour
Our Independence Day

The time has come for the western world
To jump into the fight
And make a stand on freedoms side
While chance is still in sight
As the walls fall the people vow to never go down again
If it comes to it we got to know right now
Are you ready to make a stand

This is the hour
This is the day
This is the hour
Our Independence Day

. . .


In days gone by we chose our side
Showed them we weren't afraid to step over the line
Standing fall we would look you in the eye
Cause what we hold true you could never deny
You don't understand what we chose to condemn
You're the one who has made it us against them
Our hearts turn black and our blood runs cold
When we see our country being bought and sold

With eyes of fire we see things today
You could never change us cause it's our way
With eyes of fire we see things today
You could never stop us it's too late

Long ago we learned it's our fight
To try to bring out what they hide from our sight
To show them they have not won our hearts and minds
With their pledges, promises, and campaign lies
With eyes of fire we see what we see
For this country, what it is, and should be
Where an honest man can get ahead and not just by
And say he loves his country with his head held high
