Name of One Pet Red,White & Blue formed in early 1997.
Prior to forming the current line-up,Arne and Arthur had been playing in the skinhead hardcore band "Spirit of '88".
Increasing in popularity the group had played in many local Oi! and hardcore shows in the South and North Jersey areas and occasionaly played a few shows in New york.
Refining their sound and writing more patriotic Oi! inspired songs the band have released two demos under the name Red,White & Blue.
Feeling left out and due to lack of interest the bass player and drummer had left the band.
To fill the gap,James -a close friend of Arne and Arthur- took over on bass and after a long search came Jesse on drums.
Red,White & Blue have two songs featured on the Trailer park records CD release "Better scene than heard".
They have also recorded demos (which are still available) and have just finished recording a full-length CD for Pure impact records.
The band is currently working on putting out a few 7"s and will be featured on an upcoming Oi! compilation on Sta-press records.
The line-up is:
Arne - Vocals
Arthur - Guitar,vocals
James - Bass,Vocals
Jesse - Drums
LYRICS
Oi! Skinhead
Skinheads fighting in the streets
We will never die
We will never know defeat
We will always have our pride,'til we die
Always stick together,always try!
Chorus:
Oi! Oi! Skinhead!
Fight for your rights
We're united,united & strong
As long,as long as we live!
Life's not easy so you gotta be hard
Use your head and you'll go far
Believe in yourself & do what's right
Gotta stick together & we'll be alright
Boots of pride.
---------------------------------
Seen a lot of people come & go
But I will stand proud because I stood strong
I will never change not for you and not for them
I'll remain the same 'till the very end
Chorus:
Wear my boots 'til I die
Boots of pride
So if you feel the same as before
& you will never change then you know the score
*cause once a skin always a skin
So take pride in your culture 'cause we will win.
Red,White & Blue
---------------------------------
America,land of the free
Love it or leave it is our policy
We're the patriotic minority
Fuck the ungrateful majority
They don't care about our land
It's time for us to take a stand
Chorus:
Red,White & Blue Skinhead crew
The flag belongs to me & it belongs to you
Cheers to the soldiers who
fought and died for our country
Fuck off to all the hippies
who were too blind to see
If it wasn't for the working class
this country would fall on it's ass!
Streets
---------------------------------
Hangin' out on the streets
'cause the streets are where we meet
Out drinking with the boys
Getting drunk & makin' noise
We won't stop 'til we've had our fun
& if you try & stop us,you'll be on the run
Chorus:
We are skinheads
standing tall & proud
You will never,ever
get us down
We will stand together
'till the day we die
Always stay true &
never lose pride
Skinhead pride,skinhead youth
The world's full of lies
but we know the truth
'cause we're young & got the suss so don't
you try to fuck with us!
Way of life
---------------------------------
Going out tonight,might get
in a fight,gonna put the boot
in & everything will be alright
I don't take no shit
so you better watch what you
say,so either get your head
kicked in or get the hell
out of my way
Chorus:
Oi! Will never die
Skinhead! Is just a way of life
I don't look for trouble
Trouble always finds me
I'm just being myself
Tryin' to be free
Proud to be a skinhead
Proud to be working class
You will never understand
'cause you got your head up your ass!
You can't get us down
---------------------------------
Walking down the city streets
& you fucking stare at me
Why the hell is this
is it 'cause you're prejudice?
Take a lokk in the mirror
& tell me what you see
You can't see shit
'cause you're too blind to see it.
Chorus:
You can't get us down
We will always stand our ground
We got pride
& we will have pride
until the day we die!
