Oi Polloi je skotská punková kapela, která vznikla někdy na počátku 80tých let. Původně to byl skinheads-band s textama o chlastu, punks&skins unity, riots, ale už v týhle době měli taky pár písní o právech zvířat. Časem se jejich názory...

Píseň: Thrown on the scrapheap

Interpret:
Oi Polloi
Album:
Unite and win
They fought in the war to keep the people free 
From the nazi scum who would invade our country 
Fighting the fascist filth they risked their lives 
But now they're old and weak they're just left to die 


IT AIN'T RIGHT - NO WAY! 
IT AIN'T RIGHT - THEY'VE BEEN BETRAYED 


As soon as they're no use the government says goodbye 
They throw them on the scrapheap and leave them to die 
As soon as you're no use the government will say goodbye 
They're throw you on the scrapheap and leave you to die 


Folk who've worked for society for all of their years 
Given blood and sweat and toil and tears 
As soon as they're no use when they're too old 
The government lets them freeze to death in the cold 


On the pittance of a pension, struggling to survive 
Freezing to death in the winter while the government stands by 
They don't care about the old but what did you expect? 
Put your trust in government and this is what you'll get
