Skinheads '88 - Lyrics - Youth Defense League
Youth Defense League was an Oi! New York Hardcore band formed in 1986. The band was featured in the Revelation Records compilation album New York City Hardcore, which featured several NYHC bands, including Sick Of It All and Gorilla Biscuits. The group has been accused of racism and possible neo-Nazi sympathies. The band's usage of nationalistic slogans and struggle for the downtrodden white, working-class man has garnered much support from fascist hate groups worldwide.

Subculture running for twenty years
Fed by anger and public fear
We will soon unleash our rage
Read about us on the front page
(chorus)
Skinheads 88 (x4)
Standing strong, bred to hate!
Being a skinhead, the last resort
We'll reject what you have taught
Boots and braces a way of life
A way to deal with all our strife
Those who try to oppress you
Judges and the boys in blue
They had better listen to us
'cos we're the ones who got the suss
