Discover the story of the song > Angels with Dirty Faces – Sham 69

The song talks about the protagonist and other kids with dirty faces who come from "nowhere places". They run and fight on the streets, and even though they don't have much money, they don't cry. The protagonist sometimes feels lonely, but he does what someone has told him to do. They are seen as rebels with a label, and people don't want to know them or go where they come from.
