[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision

[Verse 1]
Like Robin Hood they were rebels
Some say they kept their company with the devil
No money, no social graces
But they could make men tremble in higher places

[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision

[Verse 2]
They fought frustration with laughter
Made men forget just what they were running after
Holy life without any purpose
Taught them to trust their feelings beneath the surface

[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
They had dirty faces

[Post-Chorus]
Black is white and day is night
Wrong can be right in the best light
Life is a game, it's a perfect place
For angels with dirty faces, dirty faces

[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision

[Post-Chorus]
Black is white and day is night
Wrong can be right in the best light
Life is a game, it's a perfect place
For angels with dirty faces, dirty faces

[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
Oh-oh-oh
They had dirty faces

[Chorus]
They were angels with dirty faces
'Til they fell from somebody's graces
They were soldiers without a mission
But they were angels
They had a vision
They had dirty faces
Oh-oh-oh
They had dirty faces
Oh-oh-oh
