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...
When two men kiss
Walk hand in hand
The fear of what
You don't understand
Explodes into violence
Screams break the silence
"The guy was a poof"
"The guy was queer"
Dehumanised
And living in fear
No, you're not thick
And you say they're sick
But the only sickness
I can see
Proliferation is your fanatical devotion
What kind of society do we live in
Where the simple act of showing
Love and affection towards another human
Being results in this
Kind of sickening murderous violence?
Intolerance, bigotry and hate
I say it's time to stop.
From nazi boneheads to Bad Brains
Warped attitiudes that we must change
And it's not just homofobia
Rampant sexism, macho dancing, beating of woman
All this is rife within the scene
Often closer to home
Than we care to acknowledge.
It's time to stop sweeping things under the carped Confront the problems
And act.
