Some of you I´ve known since we were six years old
Some of you I´ve know since we were ten
The common denominator is that you´re my oldest friend

Some of us have tried to set our future straight
And most of us are firing in the dark
When you´ve got good men around you it makes life a lot less hard

Oh how wonderful, how uncool
That I´m still hanging out with all my friends from school

We´re the lads, we´re the lads
We are champions among men
We have no idea where were going
But we´ll go there together
From here to forever
We will always be there for our friends
Yeah we´re the lads

If we can save each other´s lives in future wars
And we don´t lose each other to our loves
We´ll cast familiar shadows in the last remaining public houses
Oh how wonderful, how uncool that I´m still hanging out
With all my friends from school

We´re the lads, we´re the lads
We are champions among men
We have no idea where we´re going
But we´ll go there together
From here to forever
We will always be there for our friends
Yeah we´re the lads
We´re the lads
We won´t be here forever
We are stronger and brighter than ever

We will go there together
We will always remember
We´re the lads, we´re the lads
We are champions among men
We are constantly to-ing and fro-ing
We are giants and warriors

With an oh I adore yous

We´re the lads, we´re the lads
We are champions among men
We have no idea where we´re going
But we´ll go there together
From here to forever
We will always be there for our friends
Yeah we´re the lads
