Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss

Out in the suburbs
Life is gettin' tough
Me and my posse
Necks are gettin' roughe
Down in the boy's school
Life if gettin' hard
Know what I'm sayin'
Fighting in the yard

We got wide-arsed hippie mums
We look smart but we want to be dumb

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss

I got some mash-ups
With Snoop' and Dr Dre
I play 'em louder
When my dad's away
We got a Volvo
And plastic chandeliers
Know what I'm sayin'
It's boring me to tears

We got tight-arsed drippy dads
We look good good but we want to be bad

Thugz are us, thugs are us
Wearing hoods and baggy trousers on the bus
Thugz are us, thugs are us
We don't want no trouble
Unless you make a fuss

We got some beer bu we want some crack
We look white but we want to be black

Thugs!!
