The Real McKenzies - Droppin’ Like Flies

I recall back in ’79 I was just a wee kid livin’ in a dive Didn’t drink, didn’t dance, didn’t ever smoke hash But it changed when I heard The Clash And you know I needed more so I got Up and out to the record store I bought all the records I could afford An’ I played em all on my stereo This is a song saluting punkrockers rise And what they did to change the times But with such a lifestyle they’re burnin’ On both sides Now they’re droppin’ like flies All those old punk rock guys I became a fan and I remain that way And to this day, I’m still blown away Those bands just cut me to the bone Like The Damned, The Pistols and The Ramones Now we just wanna say They made us what we are today So now every time we play We remember those of yesterday This is a song saluting punkrockers rise And what they did to change the times But with such a lifestyle they’re burnin’ On both sides Now they’re droppin’ like flies All those old punk rock guys Well I became a fan and I remain that way And to this day, I’m still blown away And then theres me I’m not dead yet But never ever know I could be next This is a song saluting punkrockers rise And what they did to change the times But with such a lifestyle they’re burnin’ On both sides Now they’re droppin’ like flies All those old punk rock guys
