Room for Abuse

We'd like to say a thank you to our mums and dads

And all our families for all of the support we have

We'd like to give a big thank you to all of our mates

And all the people that have let us stay, you treated us great

We'd like to give a special mention to some of the crews

Cool promoters, yeah, the ones that gave us extra booze

And thanks a lot to all the good, good bands we know

We know without you, there probably wouldn't be a show

Now for some, a select few

We'd like to give a big **** you

You like to think you're so damn punk rock

But really you don't give a ****

We aren't naming any names '

Cause we ain't playing silly games

Just cause you're so damn petty

Doesn't mean we have to be

Promoters that have ripped us off '

Cause the just want a bigger cut

People say we aren't trad ska

We never said that we are

We don't mind if you don't like us

Just **** off, get on your bike 'cause

We won't argue, it's no use

It just gives us more room for abuse

A great big thank you to the skaters and the kids and the punks

And all the people that are always there down at the front

Thanks to the people at the gigs for coming to it

And all the head cases that always go mad in the pit

We wanna say a huge thank you for the tabs and beer

We know without you we wouldn't have survived the year

We wanna say a thank you if you lent a hand

We know without you that there probably wouldn't be a band

Now there's a few people that we wanna list

Please excuse us if there's any that we have missed

We wanna give a real special mention to

Hogger You treated us well man, you're like a big brother

We know without people out you, this would mean nought

We'd like to thank

Chip, Phil and all the rest for support

If we've forgotten anyone that has helped us out

We'd like to thank you 'cause that's what this is all about
