Oh it's payday, yes it's payday
I've got my paycheque from the man
Cause there's not so many jobs that I can get these days
With these marks all over my hands
But I'm gonna take that cheque I'm gonna head across the track
To the wrong side of this town
I'm gonna open the door, i'm gonna bask in the roar
Of that familiar buzzing needle sound
Because the ink in my skin where the needle went in
How ever many years ago
Has left marks on my arms and they say who I am
Everywhere that I go
Some people have none, some have ones that they're ashamed of
Most people think that we're fools
Some people don't get it and some people don't care
And some of us we have tattoos
VERSE SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE
We've got hearts for the lovers
And playing cards for the gamblers
Black Flag bars for the punks
Sailing ships for the ramblers
We've got skulls for the living
And the pain pays our dues
Some of us we have tattoos
Oh some of us we have tattoos
Oh some of us we have tattoos
Yes some of us we have tattoos
