(Intro)
(Heavy, melodic guitar riff – fast palm muting, then opening up into a catchy lead)
(Drums kick in: 1-2, 1-2-3-4!)
(Verse 1)
The alarm clock rings at half past five
Another day to stay alive
The factory gates are opening wide
With calloused hands and honest pride
We don’t have much, but we have our name
In this dirty city, we feel no shame
Steel-toed boots on the concrete floor
We’re the ones they can’t ignore!
(Chorus)
Working class and standing tall
We’re the ones who give our all
Skinheads marching side by side
With the spirit and the pride
Raise your glass, the week is done
The battle for our lives is won!
(Verse 2)
Saturday comes, the sun is bright
We’re heading for the stadium light
The colors flying in the air
You’ll hear us shouting everywhere
Through every win and every loss
We don’t care what it’s gonna cost
One for the team, and one for the crew
Loyal hearts, forever true!
(Chorus)
Working class and standing tall
We’re the ones who give our all
Skinheads marching side by side
With the spirit and the pride
Raise your glass, the week is done
The battle for our lives is won!
(Bridge)
(Tempo slows down slightly for a sing-along part)
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Pour the beer and let it flow
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Everywhere we choose to go
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Brothers till the very end
You can always count on a skinhead friend!
(Guitar Solo)
(Melodic, Swedish-style Oi! solo – very catchy and anthemic)
(Chorus)
Working class and standing tall
We’re the ones who give our all
Skinheads marching side by side
With the spirit and the pride
Raise your glass, the week is done
The battle for our lives is won!
(Outro)
The battle for our lives is won!
Oi! Oi! Perkele!
(Final power chord rings out)
