"Mob Mentality"
 
Styles and opinions change faster than the world
For plastic punks seeking teenage pleasure
You don’t know what it is to earn your pay
What do you know about the scene today

I see you’re living in a mob mentality

Wanna be a working class old school
You’re A deadhead around the block
Thinking you’re one of the mob
You’ve only been around since ‘92
Nirvana Offspring Green Day too

I see you’re living in a mob mentality
What do you fucking know
You best get ready for a forced reality
Can you stand on your own

Skinheads on the web page punks on the net
You know what it’s about well I think you forget
Chocking on your greed is the price you pay
What do you know about the scene today

I see you’re living in a mob mentality
I see you’re living in a mob mentality
What do you fucking know
You best get ready for a forced reality
Can you stand on your own

"Informer"

Originally by The Business
 
Why'd you give him 18 years
Leave a family drowning in tears
Baby boy baby girl
Now their lives a living hell

Some say it shouldn't be done
But life on the dole ain't no fun
Shouldn’t have been done
You’re an informer

You didn't have to name him to the law
Just trying to stop from being poor
Hopes the kids will pull through
Without a dad coz of you

Some say it shouldn't be done
But life on the dole ain't no fun
Shouldn’t have been done
You’re an informer

"Keep The Faith"

Originally by The Business
 
But for you where would they be
In a society claiming democracy
Nothing in the press or the radio
Only the fanzines that give em the go

So keep the faith
We’ll break though one day
Keep the faith
Our music’s here to stay

TV pundits total lies
All the people that we despise
Come on tour and you will see
Street music as it should be

So keep the faith
We’ll break though one day
Keep the faith
Our music’s here to stay

Radio stations chosen playlists
Say that it’s just the way it is
They only have their financial say
From the profits punk will pay

"Boys On The Docks"

Dedicated to the memory of John Kelly
 
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone,
We came to this country, you made it our home.

This man so humble, this man so brave.
A legend to many, he fought to his grave.
Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror,
in a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow.

Say Johnny me boy, this ones for you.
With the strength of many and the courage of few.
To what do we owe this man who's fight
was for the masses, he gave his life.

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone,
We came to this country, you made it our home.

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime.
He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time.
He wasn't a crook, but he couldn't be conned.
John knew the difference between right and wrong.

Say Johnny me boy, you live no longer,
Others forgotten, your memory's stronger.
Lets drink to the causes in your life:
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife.

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.
We came to this country, you made it our home.
[x2]

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure.
When they came to this country he opened the door.
He said "Man I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind.
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind."

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.
We came to this country you made it our home.

"The Kids Are Alright"

Originally by The Who
 
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

"Knock Me Down"

Originally by The Outlets
 
Waiting for the while
Will she ring my dial
Can’t stay out past eight
Bored out all the rest

She knows where her heart goes

She thinks I’m a jerk
Taught her dirty words
Sweat and bake and heal
Is my timing real

She knows where her heart goes

Knock me down again

"For Boston"
 
For Boston, for Boston,
we sing our proud refrain
for Boston, for Boston
'tis wisdom's earthly fane
for here are all one
and our hearts are true
and the towers on the heights
reach the heavens own blue.
for Boston, for Boston
'til the echoes ring again

For Boston, for Boston
thy glory is our own
for Boston, for Boston
'tis here that truth is known
and ever with a right
shall our heirs be found
'til time shall be no more
and thy work is crowned
for Boston, for Boston
thy glory is our own

"The Legend Of Finn MacCumhail"
 
This mighty soldier on the eve of the war
he waged told his troops of lessons learned from battles fought:
"May your heart grow bolder like an iron--clad brigade" said this leader to his outnumbered lot.

Known as a hero to all that he knew, long live the legend of Finn MacCool!
The brave celtic leader of the chosen few, long live the legend of Finn MacCool!
