| Oi Polloi are an anarcho-punk band from Scotland that formed around 1981, also notable for their contributions to the Scottish Gaelic punk sub-genre. They support direct action in defence of the environment, hunt sabotage, and resistance against racalism, sexism, homophobia, facism and imperialism. Their name Oi Polloi and their album Unite and Win (Punks and Skins) often gave the impression that they were a group of skinheads, or even anarchist skinheads. The band has never been a "skinhead band," but has had both skinhead and punk members who have emphasized unity between the two groups. Nuclear energy is a con It's just a cover for making their bombs And it sends people to an early grave So we want the power of the wind and the waves Harness the wind Harness the waves We don't need this filthy nuclear waste Solar power - yet another alternative Think of the boundless energy the sun has to give Then there's hydro-electricity with turbines and dams And we can out our consumption with conservation programmes Harness the wind The sun the waves We don't need this filthy nuclear waste The civil atomic energy programmes is nothing but an elaborate cover-up for the real use of nuclear power namely the production of fissile materials for nuclear weapons We call for an end to the nuclear power programmes and properly funded research into renewable sources of energy Harness the wind The sun the waves We don't need this filthy nuclear waste |
