Lyrics
Devil's Brigade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got no one to defend you; you're out on your own
Still fighting on the corner, you can never go home
In this world of temptation, in this city of sin
There's nothing that can save you but a strength from within
Because they'll do it again and they've done it before
The devil's brigade
Headed down a dead end road with the devil's brigade
You're being led astray
This crew will not rest until your life's in the piss
Stop and think of your future, the chances you'll miss
Looking back on a resumé of corruption and crime
'Cause you wasted your youth, taken down in your prime
Because they'll do it again and they've done it before
The devil's brigade
Headed down a dead end road with the devil's brigade
You're being led astray
Dying to belong though it's tearing you apart
A bullet to the head and a knife to the heart
Are the tools of the trade in this cold life of crime
A smart, decent kid who has now lost his mind
Because they'll do it again and they've done it before
The devil's brigade
Headed down a dead end road with the devil's brigade
You're being led astray.
