We Don't Need Them Songtext / Lyric

Opened the paper what did I see?

A load of complete rubbish staring out at me

"Oi man killed" so the headline read

Said one of Oi Polloi had wound up dead

Well we all knew that that wasn't true

'Cos we're still here playing Oi! Oi! music for you

No one of us had wound up dead

Hear our Oi! Oi! music pounding through your head



WE DON'T NEED THEM - WE DON'T NEED THEM

WE DON'T NEED THEM - DON'T NEED TO READ THEM

WE DON'T NEED THEM - SO DON'T BELIEVE THEM






Oi! is dead so the music press say

They seem to think that we'll all just fade away

Seem to think that Oi! is over and done

But I'm telling you straight we've only just begun

There's thousands of folk like me and you

We're still here and we're still true

They can try to ignore us or smear us with lies

But we'll fight on and our spirit never dies



The papers have always got it wrong

They try to deceive they lie and they con

Just a form of brainwashing by the ruling elite

So what you read you shouldn't always believe

But there's alternatives in the music scene

Who needs rags like "Sounds" when we've got our own zines?

Yes we've got our own press doing things our own way

And as for rags like "Sounds" I want to hear you all say:
