Hangin' around, we've got nothing to do
Ain't got much money so we've little to lose
Having fun is all that counts
Today's here, tomorrow's always in doubt

You don't understand
We don't need your plans
You've always tried to control us
Done everything that you've told us
Put away your guns and wives
We won't live your fuckin' lives

Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade

Rockheads, smoothies, jarheads abound
Diggers and gyros can always be found
L7's, gayboys, queers and the rest
Everyone knows brigade boys are best

You don't understand
We don't need your plans
You've always tried to control us
Done everything that you've told us
Put away your guns and wives
We won't live your fuckin' lives

Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade

You don't understand
We don't need your plans
You've always tried to control us
Done everything that you've told us
Put away your guns and wives
We won't live your fuckin' lives

Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade
