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.

Pigs For Slaughter Lyrics

Oi Polloi

They shot innocent 5 year old kid
murdered him in his bed
They beat folk with their truncheons
in the cells till they're dead
Humiliate and strip search you
as a matter of routine
Beat you up behind closed doors
and laugh at your screams

Were taking no more
Were booting down the door
Pigs Pigs Pigs for slaughter <i>[x2]

At the Edinburgh Punx picnic
They were the cause of more grief
While a couple held a young punk down
a third smashed out his front teeth
paid thugs, covards and bullies
They're totally out of hand
so now it's up to you and I
were get to make our stand

Were taking no more
Were booting down the door
Pigs Pigs Pigs for slaughter <i>[x2]

They shot a woman minding her own business
Now wheelchair-bound for life
They try to break your spirit with interrogation
misters nasty and nice
But though they torture and beat you
Don't let the spirit be shaken
Just remember that todays Pig
is tomorrows BACON!!

Were taking no more
Were booting down the door
Pigs Pigs Pigs for slaughter
(Put the Pigs to the slaughter!!)
