The Brothels Lyrics

The ladies on the corner selling extacy.
They're dressed in fancy get ups like in porno magazines
Minors in the disco takes his first drink
Cops on the lawn waitin' for the kids to leave.
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
We have everything you need

And when I first met him I knew that he was tough,
And not to my surprise he really liked it rough,
Red leather pants, a tattooed neck
and prayin' hard to jesus saying givin' him a rest

Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
We've got everything you need
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah

Yeahhhhh

Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
We have everything you need,
You neeed you neeed You neeed you neeed You neeed you neeed

And not to my surprise he really liked it rough,
Red leather pants, a tattooed neck 
and prayin' hard to jesus saying givin' him a rest

Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
We've got everything you need
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah 
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
