Its a very small world in the middle of a crowd 
The room gets dark when the music gets loud 
Treble cuts thru when the rhythm takes the bite 
But theres no room to move cause the floor is packed tight

A voice in the crowd never surrender 
A hand in the crowds flying propaganda 
never surrender, we ll never surrender 

Verse:   
The skins in the corner are staring at the bar 
The rude boys are dancing to some heavy heavy ska 
Its getting so hot people dripping with sweat 
The punks in the corner are speeding like a jet
