Sydney Skins 02:02
Campo beers down the park Waiting for the show To fuckin start Nerds sword fighting In shitting armour Cants really say were A pack of charmers Friday night boot On the street Bands and beer flying To the beat Sometimes a fight comming up It's a grey jungle waiting for us Daylight scars in my head Bad things comming round The bend Sydney skins Copping shit Sydney skins Fucking deal with it Sydney skins Don't give a fuck Sydney skins Running amok Life's too short to worry bout scars

The Spot 02:29
Working all week Slaving all day Don't get me started on my pay Heading to the show For a fucking beer All I need and something to hear Those that are clued in Know the fucking score Punk's skins Herbert's and hardcore Who we sing to doesn't fucking matter Asking as there a pub with tunes going There's a spot down the road That I call my home A place I can come and go Full of cunts like me A place to be free
3.
Hooligans 02:43
Waiting for the game Drinking and shouting Glasses flying Marching on the street Pigs everywhere We will be fucking glory Flair's beers fights Some scars Most of us banned from the game We will be there anyway Hooligan Drinking at the pub Hooligan Ready for the game Hooligan Chaos on the street Hooligan Stand up

Skeletons 02:46
30 years has passed And your still on the out Even if your opinions changed Doesn't matter what you sing and shout Pc crowd has drew the line And there's no way back Judge jury and executioner Without looking at all the facts Up there on that high horse Clutching all those straws Only stand for something when it's inside all these doors Moral compass is completely lost When it comes to politics Try to have a discussion But all you give is cognitive dissonance Skeletons in the closet From a distant past Held to a certain degree From cunts that never last
5.
Mercy 02:27
walking down the strip recounting all my aspirations and fears blaming all the things we did wrong, we can't just make them disappear and when they realise we can't do better they will finally understand we have lost our faith mercy mercy mercy on us, let them remain alone with their own misery stabbed from the back knocked out from both sides, greetings for all of those who never stood back grief for the men we will never be, there is nothing we can do but watch you die Barcelona disappears with your bullshit lies, she has died with us last night haunted by memories of things we will never see, guilty for the statements that we will never get to say that's all they came for, that's all they took we'd given all we got there nothing left to do mercy mercy mercy on us, let them die in pieces at last empty victories fake friends with gator smiles greetings for all of you who will always remain

BS 03:03
5,6,7,8 Our world view is getting bigger Information on tap people connecting faster But even with the evidence we present People ignore the biggest threat Slavery and homophobia is still around And if your a apostate you end up in the ground Never been right to live a life of fear Forced on the kids At a early year Boycott against the theocratic agenda Could make the enemy surrender A world that's free of religion draw the line in the sand Keep the world clean Free of Christianity Free of Islam Free of Hinduism Free of Judaism Keep it clean Free of pedophiles Free of fascism Free of the cast system Free of occupation
7.
Free Ride 02:02
Waking up at 10 Strolling down the shops The only initiative he has got Is getting another shot Passing all the trades Strolling past the mums Our tax dollars hard at work Supporting another scum Parasite, leach welfare dependant Won't get a job But complain About the democratic benefit Life's a pain Not another day Here comes the taxman Skimming off my pay Another lazy cunt On a hammock Get off ya arse and Keep the country strong
8.
Play It Safe 02:40
Confrontation is not for you Never say what you fuckin want to Cloak and dagger is a different story Gossip like a bitch think your bound for glory Treding on that ice Getting underneath your skin Finding what you hate that's where I'll begin Nothing to hide Everything to hate Demotivate Stand for nothing Your words are meaningless go play it safe Words are meaningless play it safe

xoxo 00:53
I hate your band And I think your shit Only reason I am here Is to get into the pit Fuck the whole week And fuck your Fucking life Cutting loose at shows Until I fucking die I hate my band And I think we're shit Only reason I am here is to get into the pit Fuck the whole year and fuck my fucking life Drunk pogo in the pit Until I fucking die
10.
Raver Head 03:10
Everywhere I wonder it's made perfectly clear The likes of all of us are not wanted round here Every nook and cranny Every pub and club Force-fed this shit called fucking dub Popped collar dickheads pushing thru the crowd No regard for no cunt Acting fucking proud Stupid sluts out in 5 fucking degrees Out trolling for cock in their fucking undees Techno fucking wankers Out on the town Looking for an up Looking for a down You can drop that beat Right up your arse Fucking techno clowns You are a bloody farce
