Biography:
The Briggs,started off and were known as the band, I Decline. They released an album called "Spy On Your Neighbors", but due to legal action by another band they had to change the band name. Thus was born, The Briggs, who are a punk rock band based out of Los Angeles, California. Fronted by brothers Joey and Jason LaRocca, this band draws from a variety of influences, but most noteably from the likes of UK artists such as The Clash, Cock Sparrer, Stiff Little Fingers, and Billy Bragg.

Verse:
I look around and I see nothing but the dead.

Thought they were angels but there's nothing above their heads.
The real world came crashing through the door,
F#
who'd knew we'd become the children of war.
Pre-Chorus:
B Em F#
Thrown into a holding cell
B Em F#
a waiting room for heaven or hell.

We tried to make mice out of men.
F#
We only strengthened the ones we sought to contend.
Chorus:
B G#
Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools.
F# E B
We blindly follow all the rules on the ship of fools.
G#
All aboard the ship of fools.
F# E
If we're always compassionate,
F# G#
how are we supposed to turn a profit?
Verse:
Poisoned words spew from poisoned tongues.

Well ready, set, here's the fun.

Punch the clock and grab yourself a gun.

Ship of fools, all aboard the ship of fools.
