We don't like the mainstream
And we're tired of fitting in
So we picked a new image
Now we all look the same.

Obviously you don't realize
That I was born in a ska hall
If you don't buy into us completely
Don't buy into us at all.

If your hat's a little crooked
And you dance a little slow
If you're not wearing a suit
Then we'll kick you out of the show.

Skankers, Skankers,
Whatever does it mean?
Skankers, Skankers,
Why you busting on my scene?

We learned all the history
We'll tell you who to like
It's no good if it's popular
We're sick of all the hype

The music does not matter
It's all about the scene
And it's too late for you to join
You don't know what it means

If your horns are on the downbeat
And guitar has too much bass
If your lyrics are too happy
Then we'll punch you in the face.

Skankers, Skankers,
Whatever does it mean?
Skankers, Skankers,
Why you busting on my scene?

Skankers, Skankers,
I want to eat an orange
Skankers, Skankers,
Why you busting on my genre?

You don't really love me
You're just tired of fitting in
You don't really love me
You're just tired of fitting in.
