(True, true, true)
Foolish pride can make a foolish boy lose his life
With a stupid choice, a used useless mind
Who's denied pursuing life soon will die, see
He owes a debt, so he knows the sec the dealer rings him
He's gotta get going until the dealer thinks the debt is ended
Stashing parcels in your ma's gaff, arsonin' cars and some lad's gaff
Just to get a tap, tap on the back, a gram and a laugh for the craic of it
Fuck it, let's get back to it, get back to it
Many boys are penny boys from where I'm from
Getting highs from dealers telling lies and telling them where to run
You do the crime, you do the time because you can't say names
Tell me who in their right mind can be betrayed that way
He owns you, controls you, you're his human pet
He phones you to get going, you owe this stupid debt
You see it's liberty-taking is the thing I hate most
When all these fuckers see a weakness then they take control
Of these God forsaking souls while Satan strolls the pavement road That's painted gold And laid with roses but you've other places to go kid
In the ground, locked up, or on heavy chat
In 20 years, you'll be thinking "I gave my life for this"
Now you can't go outside with your wife and kids
Everybody knows you for all the crimes you did
The times you snitched, all the times went to fucking hide like a bitch (Ah)
Kids getting blasted for losing stashes
A few days after it, you see the suspect asking the Ma when the mass is
Tragedies come in masses, fantasies and phantom pains and a passage
To the fastest way to die. getting attacked and slashed by a pacifist with a knife
So pass your fist for a fight, you slash your wrists and slash your lips, it's alright
But first let me find let me find another penny boy, said let me find let me find another penny boy
Many boys are penny boys from where I'm from
Getting highs from dealers telling lies and telling them where to run
You do the crime, you do the time because you can't say names
Tell me who in their right mind can be betrayed that way
(Foolish pride, control, foolish pride, penny boys, one more time)
Many boys are penny boys from where I'm from
Getting highs from dealers telling lies and telling them where to run
You do the crime, you do the time because you can't say names
Tell me who in their right mind can be betrayed that way
