Stage Bottles – All you need is hate

They see a skinhead walking down the street
The judgement day has come ______
If they can feel it they hate you with fear
But what we feel is ______   ______
Now we know where it comes from
That we are _________
It´s our skinhead life
And we know
It was society which made us to what we´re now

You never know
When we´ll run at you
We are ________ real hate
And that makes us feeling much better

Oppressing people in other countries
Killing, _______ for love
For love to your fucking money
One day we´re gonna kill _____

Now we know where it comes from
That we are different
It´s our skinhead life
And we know
It was society which made us to what we´re now
So don´t blame me
You never _______
When we´ll run at you
We are feeling real hate
And that makes us feeling _______ better

All you need is hate
All you need is hate
All you need is hate
All you need is hate

You fucking fat cunts, you bastards
In your stupid business suits fuck off
Your clothes are grey as your hair and your thoughts
Be sure your colours are not ours

Now we ______ where it comes _______
That we are different
It´s our skinhead life
And we know
It was society which made us to what we´re now
So don´t blame me
You never _______
When we´ll run at you
We are feeling real hate
And that makes us _______ much better

All you need is hate

Skinhead Music

A major aspect of Skinhead life is their devotion to bands that play white power "oi" music, a hard-driving brand of rock and roll whose lyrics pound home a message of bigotry and violence. No other means of communication - neither the spoken nor written word - compares with oi music's influence on their outlook and behavior. Music is the Skinhead movement's main propaganda weapon and its chief means of attracting young recruits into its ranks. Skins maintain universal ties through their music, distributing recordings internationally and organizing concert tours and music fests that feature both domestic and foreign bands.

Neo-Nazi ideology combined with the gang lifestyle provides Skinheads with a seductive sense of strength, group belonging and superiority over others. Invocation of Viking imagery offers the Skinhead a perception of himself as a racial warrior. The Skinheads glorify Hitler and aspire to create his vision of a world-wide, pan-Aryan Reich. These strands - a sense of power, of belonging, of destiny - combine to create the appeal the Skinhead movement holds for disaffected youngsters.

Skinhead violence differs little from one country to the next. When on the prowl, they seek out members of hated groups and attack them. While their means of attack varies, Skinheads take special pride in using their boots as weapons. Vandalism is another Skinhead specialty: they scrawl racist graffiti and desecrate Jewish synagogues, cemetaries and memorials to the Holocaust.

While some Skinheads have been known to use drugs, virtually all drink. Heavy beer consumption often precedes incidents of Skinhead violence.

The Skinhead

The Skinhead phenomenon originated in England where gangs on  menacing-looking, shaven-headed and tattooed youths in combat boots began to be seen in the streets in the early 1970's. Their style was meant to symbolize tough, patriotic, working-class attitudes in contrast to the supposedly sissyish, pacifist, middle-class views of the hippies.
The racist and chauvinist attitudes that prevailed at the time among many Skinheads later evolved into a crude form of Nazism. From the start, Skins drew public notice for their bigotry and taste for violence, exemplified by their frequent assaults on Asian immigrants, attacks which came to be known as "Paki-bashing."

In the years that followed, the Skinhead movement spread from England to the Continent and beyond. Racist Skinheads are found today in almost every country whose majority population is of European stock. Those attracted to the movement are almost uniformly white youths between the ages of 13 and 25, with males outnumbering females. While Skins retail the mythology of the movement's working-class origins, in reality they come from a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds.
The intimidating look favored by male Skinheads is instantly recognizable: a shaved head or closely cropped hair; jeans; thin suspenders or braces; combat boots; a bomber jacket, sometimes emblazoned with Nazi insignia; and tattoos of Nazi symbols and slogans. For security reasons, Skinheads sometimes adopt a less conspicuous look, by, for example, letting their hair grow out.
