Droppin' Like Flies - The Real McKenzies

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

(Chorus:)

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 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 & the ramones

now we just wanna say

they made us what we are today

so every time we play

we remember those of yesterday

(Chorus:)

this is a song saluting punkrockers rise

and what they did to change the times

with such a lifestyle they’re burnin'

on both sides

now they’re droppin' like flies

all those punk rock guys

i became a fan and i remain that way

and to this day, i’m still blown away

and then theres me im not dead yet

but you never really know i could be next

(Chorus:)

this is a song saluting punkrockers rise

and what they did to change the times

with such a lifestyle they’re burnin'

on both sides

now they’re droppin' like flies

all those old punk rock guys

they’re droppin' like flies

all those old punk rock guys

they’re droppin' like flies

all those old punk rock guys
