[Intro]
Come down, skinhead, come down
Come down, skinhead, come down
You wan' fi take this time, create the other years
Come down, skinhead, come down

[Refrain]
A war in a Dublin
Mi said, a war in a Manchester
Mi said, a war in a Liverpool
Because him never been to school
Said, a war in a Brixton
Dis a hundred years, dis a hundred years
Nobody trouble natty dreadlocks
Nobody trouble natty dreadlocks

[Chorus]
Skinhead, skinhead; Skinhead, skinhead

[Verse 1]
Said, di police a bring dem rubber bomb
Di police a bust them rubber shot, and a fling water bomb
While di skinheads a fling them a bottle and stone
Dem a fling petrol bomb
Cah, dem a fling petrol bomb
Mind natty dreadlocks, mind di truth happen natty dreadlocks
Cah, natty dreadlocks who are di [?]
[Chorus]
Skinhead, skinhead; Skinhead, skinhead

[Refrain]
Cause, a war in a Dublin
Cah, mi couldn't get no dumplin'
A pure war in a Dublin
Come down, skinhead; Come down, skinhead
Come down, skinhead
A shaved, you a shaved; A shaved, you a shaved

[Verse 2]
Say, you gone a Manchester, you a wear polyester
A dressed, you are dressed up
Cah, I man, do you see a time fi di hundred years
A time fi di hundred years
Don't care what you have heard of natty dreadlocks
What's strong if not a natty dreadlocks, yeah (You understand?)
You better step on your right cord
You better step on your right line
No bother cross the white line
Cah, you mash up Manchester and you gone a Liverpool
You come a Brixton
You even try Wembley stadium on di way
No touch, you a touch
A man of mighty shame
[Chorus]
Come down, skinhead, come down
Come down, skinhead, come down
Come off of your pomps an' your pride
Come off of your pomps an' your pride
Cause, a no time fi you hide, no time fi you hide

[Outro]
For a hundred years (Move, skinhead, move out a di way)
Move, nimble skinhead, move, get out a di way, get out a di way
Go hide yourself in a garbage ban
Skinhead, you've got to move
