Cheap Imitations Lyrics

So where did you copy that look
Joe Hawkins straight out of a book
Got that suit from Carnaby Street
Made by a paki don't fit too neat
Advertise for second hand clothes
Original smell of 60s BO
It's a fashion not a way of life
And those old cliché will never die.
Cheap imitation, Cheap imitation
Cheap imitation that's what you are

Say you're proud to be a working man
Traditional values you don't understand
You won't call a spade a spade
Scared to upset d***s and gays
Got your spirit of 69
But no rebellion and no fight
The day society accepts your kind
That's the day that skinheads die
Cheap imitation, Cheap imitation
Cheap imitation that's what you are

Got your Trojan, your Last Resort
Your Sham and your ska
Your skinhead times, c***ney slang
You're Oi! Oi! Having a laugh
Cheap imitation, Cheap imitation
Cheap imitation that's what you are
