We Don't Need Them Lyrics - Oi Polloi

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:
