The Boys
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.
We're from the city, from the
streets
Our mates always seem to meet
No one seems to care
Wear our boots and crop our hair
We don't wear Martens just for kicks
Don't wear braces just for chicks
Don't cut our hair to make us look bad
Won't be caught up in nobody's fad
(chorus)
We're the boys - YDL
We're the boys - YDL
We're the boys - YDL
We're the boys - YDL
Skinheads!
(repeat 1st verse)
