Tommy Was

Tommy was a friend of mine

Who was always doing things wrong

But times passed by and he asked me why

He started to think and why he was always with a drink

Well I made Tommy promise me

That we'd always be hooligans

But times passed by he was left behind

Still I won't crack no - I won't look back

I'll tell you a story of a two year legacy

Fist after fist couldn't break our backs so we dropped our baseball bats

A way-to-go Tommy with his boots & bike chain

We skated the streets to the Rancid beat

Spiked our hair every day of the week

VIVA

I say it with conviction

The boot boys

Long live the punk rock girls

And the hooligans

This is my tale of those two years

Yeah now he's left but I'm still here and I meant every single world

So I won't look back for Tommy 'cause I know that things change

For better or worse you can't rehearse the problems that come and go

[Chorus]

NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH

Don't tell me you were a boot boy

Tell me that you're still a boot boy

Don't tell me you're somebody's toy - HEY HEY
