I come from south London I think I'm cool
I wear a cheap crombie and that's about all
I go down the pub with all the lads
Their wearing their chains that they got from their dads
But all I got was a rotten cheap chain
My wife's got in debt with the club book again
I'm a plastic gangster
They call me a crown and anchor
I asked one of my mates to get me some books
About the East End their gangs and their crooks
I bought a cheap car from one of the lads
He got it cheap from his car dealing dad
I'm in my new car, I'm driving it home
The next thing I know the engine has blown
I went down the West End, the local was drag
I had to pay a tenner to go with some bag
I took her home to her place I gave her some stick
The next thing I know the old bag was sick
I stay at home on Thursdays, minders on TV
I'm learning Cockney rhyming slang of to a tee
So when I go out on Fridays I know what to say
I wish I was like Arthur and get my own way.
The 4-Skins sono una band punk rock Oi! di classe operaia proveniente dal quartiere East End di Londra, Inghilterra. Composta originariamente da Gary Hodges (voce), 'Hoxton' Tom McCourt (chitarra), Steve 'H' Harmer (basso) e Gary Hitchcock (batteria), si sono formati nel 1979 e si sono sciolti nel 1984, anche se una nuova formazione è emersa nel 2007. Considerati uno dei pilastri del movimento Oi!, The 4-Skins hanno contribuito a definire il sound con testi diretti e energici che riflettevano le esperienze della vita quotidiana di classe operaia.

Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano 'Emergency', 'The 4-Skins', 'We Want Action'.
