Dropkick Murphys - Devils Brigade Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
Because they'll do it again, they've done it before,
The Devils Brigade
Headed down a dead end road with the Devils Brigade
You're being led astray

The crew will not rest until your life's in the piss
Stop and think of you're future, the chances you'll miss
Looking back on a resume of corruption and crime
Cause you wasted your youth, taken down in your prime

[Chorus]

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

  1. E.... C....

    that makes sense. i thought it was about growing up in south boston in the 90's and being part of whitey bulger's gang, not because you want to but because thats the only choice you had. I like what you said too thought

  2. T.... ....

    Those damn old school hellcat records and their cool album artwork misleading the YouTube youth on what the song is about. (sarcasm)

  3. s.... ....

    @joshparmenter95 oh how cute, a mental-pygmy is attempting to insult me! Please show a source that states most of the 1stSSF volunteers were Marines...also please explain to me how "Air Force" personnel could join the unit in 1942-1944 when the Air Force only existed from 1947...before that it was part of the ARMY

  4. E.... C....

    this song has nothing to do with the military

  5. C.... B....

    @zoomandgroom313 Good luck and stay safe

  6. s.... ....

    the "Devil's Brigade" (really the "Black Devils", aka the 1st Special Service Force) were NOT Marines...as much as I respect the USMC, this was an army unit, and part Canadian

  7. R.... J....

  8. R.... J....

    @grtwhtbnr Well said;)

  14. g.... ....

    @NekoLover94 wow this was a response. War is costly, nobody is debating that. Cleaning up the mess is always hard. Lives lost are always unfortunate. But The USA was once an extension of an empire until our forefathers (notice i didnt say WE) broke free. We are now the world power, until china one ups us soon. Latin America has earned its independence from spain and portugal, Just because you win a war doesnt mean the fights not over, you have to maintian your choice of govt. youre weak.

  15. N.... ....

    @grtwhtbnr war is costly. not just in money people can't afford to waste but lives as well. one nation wants another or one nation wants freedom from another so they fight till one wins or both decide to stop. the ones who don't die get messed up because of war and its a very sad thing to see happen. It doesn't better anyone n the long run and most places, if they didn't have any wars would be way better off like Ireland would of been. so STFU before someone "freedoms the hell" out of you!

  16. M.... B....

    anyone who listens to today's popular music reallyu needs to shoot themselves

  17. g.... ....

    @AnnoyingBeast life of crime and corruption...young men signing up to defend their country, college scholarships, extra points on ANY resume, advanced placement on any government career. EXTRA money for school and college. Built in discipline. I've never served, so this is just the observation of an outsider looking in.

  18. g.... ....

    @AnnoyingBeast dont tell us we cant afford war! we will freedom the hell out of t his world!

  19. A.... ....

    @MrGalagoth rebellion formed ireland, invsasion didnt, i live in armagh, everyone here considers themselves irish, 32 countys = ireland

  20. M.... ....

    @AnnoyingBeast war formed ireland and anyhow you don't live in the real ireland you live in the british slave state

  21. A.... ....

    @MrGalagoth i live in ireland, war destroyed this country, its a waste of money that could be spent on the working class people, ' and as for learn your history kid' im a history and archaeology teacher in northern ireland, only war technology is made during wars, because it consumes a country, it creates an economic boost, but after the war the country goes to wrack and ruin, thats whats happenin in america, the economic crash because they cant afford the war anymore

  22. M.... ....

    @AnnoyingBeast war drives the making of new tech with out war ireland would have never formed and you should know that ireland invaded the brits first back when it when the saxons were running things try learning your bloody history kid war drives the world we need a big one right now

  23. A.... ....

    anti army song i think, about people who blindly follow leaders to go into war and dont think for themselves about the battle they just do what there told.
    same with gangs though,
    and all u marine guys sayin how afghan is and stuff is bullshit, murdering isnt a trade, its not a life. its not contructive, self defence and rebellion is the only time murderings acceptable... not invasions, invasions what imperialists do, what britain did to ireland.

  24. K.... S....

    Nice anti-gang rant. Wonder how many of you kids figured it out...sheesh I'm gettin' ancient. Hell I don't even look at anything under the age 29 these days, because all y'all younger than that could be my little bastards running around, gah maybe I need three drinks.

  25. i.... ....
