What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Oh it's payday, yes it's payday
2
I got my pay cheque from the man
3
There's not so many jobs that I can get these days
4
With these marks all over my hands
5
But I'm gonna take that cheque
6
I'm gonna head across the track
7
To the wrong side of this town
8
I'm gonna open the door
9
I'm gonna bask in the roar
10
Of that familiar buzzing needle sound
11
Because the ink in my skin
12
Where the needle went in
13
However many years ago
14
Has left marks on my arms
15
And they say who I am
16
Everywhere that I go
17
Some people have one and
18
Some have one that they're ashamed of
19
Most people think that we're fools
20
Some people don't get it and
21
Some people don't care
22
And some of us we have tattoos
23
Oh it's fading, yes it's fading
24
Some of the things that I believed back then
25
Yes my skin has started sagging and
26
The ink has started running
27
And I've got buddy tattoos with people
28
Who aren't friends
29
Oh I've even got black x's from when I was straight edge
30
So crack open a beer friends now
31
And let's make a pledge
32
If we had the luck to live our lives
33
A second time through we'd be sure to get the same tattoos
34
Because the ink in my skin
35
Where the needle went in
36
However many years ago
37
Has left marks on my arms
38
And they say who I am
39
Everywhere that I go
40
Some people have one and
41
Some have one that they're ashamed of
42
Most people think that we're fools
43
Some people don't get it and
44
Some people don't care
45
And some of us we have tattoos
46
We've got hearts for the lovers
47
And playing cards for the gamblers
48
Black flag bars for the punks
49
And sailing ships for the ramblers
50
We got skulls for the living
51
And the pain pays our dues
52
And some of us we have tattoos
