Lyrics

Friday night we'll be drinkin' manishewitz
Goin' out to terrorize goyim
Stompin' shaygetz, screwin' shiksas
As long as we're home by saturday mornin
Cause hey, we're the brews
Sportin' anti-swastika tattoos
Oi oi we're the boys
Orthodox, hasidic, o.g. ois

Orthopedic, dr. martins good for
Waffle making, kickin' through the shin
Reputation, gained through intimidation
Pacifism no longer tradition

Cause hey we're the brews
Sportin' anti-swastika tattoos
Oi oi we're the brews
The fairfax ghetto boys skinhead hebrews

We got the might, psycho mashuganahs
We can't lose a fight, and we are the chosen ones
Chutzpah, we battle then we feast
We celebrate, we'll separate our milkplates from our meat

We're the brews
Sportin' anti-swastika tattoos
Oi oi we're the boys
Orthodox, hasidic, o.g. ois
