Oi Polloi's first studio recording was a demo entitled Destroi the System, which is believed to have been released in 1984 or 1985. After the now defunct music weekly Sounds gave their previous home-recorded demo a favourable review, demand increased for gigs further afield. A second studio demo, Green Anarchoi followed before the release of the first vinyl offering, Resist the Atomic Menace. The line-up of the group has starred an impressive fifty members since their formation, making up the countless incarnations of the band. The band is currently based in Scotland.

Boot Down The Door Lyrics

Oi Polloi

United we stand, divided we fall
skins and punks rally to the call
now's the time to change this land
and it's your duty to lend a hand

We gotta boot down, boot down, boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! <i>[x2]

Those in the power have had their own way too long
it's our duty to put right what they put wrong
We've got to put an end to their wars and their laws
and their taking of decicions behind closed doors

We gotta boot down, boot down, boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! <i>[x2]

There's so much more life than violence, greed and hate
We must put them behind us before it's too late
cos the end is getting nearer day by day
But you know it doesn't have to be that way

We gotta boot down, boot down, boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! <i>[x2]

We gotta boot, gotta boot, gotta boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! <i>[x4]
