The Greatest Working Class Rip Off
4
Chorus: Ain't it just a rip of, oi, oi, oi
5
Ain't it just a rip of, oi, oi, oi
6
Ain't it just a rip of, oi, oi, oi
7
What a fucking rip off, oi, oi, oi
8
Another threatening glance, another macho stance
9
Another aggressive fist, another arsehole pissed
10
Another vicious threat, a stream of blood stained sweat
11
Another bottle waved in the air, another battle with tension and fear
12
Chorus
13
Tell me, why do you glorify violence? Ain't there nothing better to give?
14
Why fuck up the only chance to be yourself and really live?
15
You tell me you're a working class loser, well what the fuck does that mean?
16
Is the weekly fight at the boozer gonna be the only action you've seen?
17
Are you gonna be one of the big boys, well, we've seen it all before
18
Muscles all akimbo as they boot down another door
19
Will you see yourself as the hero as you boot in another head
20
When you're just a pathetic victim of the media you've been fed
21
You're lost in your own self pity, you've bought the system's lie
22
They box us up and sit pretty as we struggle with the knots they tie
23
Okay, so you're right about one thing, no-one's got the right to shit on you
24
But what's the point of shitting on yourself, what's that gonna do?
25
Working class hero beats up middle class twit
26
Media labels, system's shit
27
When it looks like the people could score a win
28
The system makes sure that the boot goes in
29
Yeah it's the greatest working class rip off, oi, oi, oi
30
Just another fucking rip off, a fucking media ploy
31
It's the greatest working class rip off, oi, oi, oi
32
Ain't it just a rip off, ain't it just a rip off, ain't it just a rip off, oi
33
Punk attacked the barriers of colour, class and creed
34
But look at how it is right now, do you really think you're freed?
35
Punk once stood for freedom, not violence, greed and hate
36
Punk's got nothing to do with what you're trying to create
37
Anarchy, violence, chaos? You mindless fucking jerks
38
Can't you see you're talking about the way the system works
39
Throughout our bloody history force has been the game
40
The message that you offer is just the fucking same
41
You're puppets to the system with your mindless violent stance
42
That's right you fuckers, sneer at us cos we say "Give Peace A Chance"
43
Punk is dead you wankers, cos you killed it through and through
44
In your violent world of chaos, what you gonna do?
45
Is Top Of The Pops the way in which you show how much you care?
46
You take off now to the USA and spread your message there?
47
Well mouth and trousers, sonny boy, never changed a thing
48
The only thing that'll ever change will be the song you sing
49
Cos when you've bought your Rolls Royce car and your luxury Penthouse Flat
50
You'll be looking down your nose and saying "Punk, dear chap, what's that?"
51
You'll be the working class hero with your middle class dream
52
And the world will be the same as the world has always been
53
Punk's the people's music so you can stuff your ideas of class
54
That's just the way the system keep you sitting on your arse
55
Class, class, class, that's all you fucking hear
56
Middle class, working class, I don't fucking care
57
It's the greatest working class rip off, oi, oi, oi
58
What a fucking rip off, oi, oi, oi
59
It's the greatest human sell off, oi, oi, oi
60
Ain't it just a rip off, ain't it just a rip off, ain't it just a rip off, oi
61
Punk's the peoples music and I don't care where they're from
62
Black or white, punk or skin, there ain't no right or wrong
63
We're all just human beings, some of us rotten, some of us good
64
You can stuff your false divisions cos together I know we could
65
Beat the system, beat its rule
66
Ain't got no class, I ain't a fool
67
Beat the system, beat its law
68
Ain't got no religion cos I know there's more
69
Beat the system, beat its game
70
Ain't got no colour, we're all the same
71
People, people, not colour, class or creed
72
Don't destroy the people, destroy their power and their greed
