lyrics

You better run, you better hide

you better put that spray paint aside

cause here he comes, right on time

to punish you for your crime


He's Artie and he can controls the scene

that's Artie living the american dream

that's Artie in all the zines

yeahh yeahhh Artie


Because of you, it shut down

he's gonna get you, you skinhead clown

you had to do it, spray paint Oi!

ruined it for every girl and boi!


He's Artie he's not big and mean

he's Artie and you should hear him scream

hey Artie, can we join your team?

yeah yeah Artie
