Jimmy and Johnny, two friends of mine

Skinheads what they claim (D|-5-5-5--3--2--0-|)

Outside similarities but no, they don't feel the same

And Jimmy thinks Johnny's a punk

Jimmy listens to ska and Johnny likes Last Resort

Jimmy and Johnny in the trenches, going down tonight

Drinking Guinness, smoking 555's

Once you're in the middle everything's all right
