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
And I bought all the records that 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'll be burnin'
on both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those punk rock guys
I became a fan and Iremain 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 who we are today
So now every time we play
We remember those of yesterday
(Chorus)
Well I became a band and I remain that way
And to this day, I'm still blown away
And then there's me, I'm not dead yet
But you never never know, I could be next
(Chorus)
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
And I bought all the records that 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'll be burnin'
on both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those punk rock guys
I became a fan and Iremain 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 who we are today
So now every time we play
We remember those of yesterday
(Chorus)
Well I became a band and I remain that way
And to this day, I'm still blown away
And then there's me, I'm not dead yet
But you never never know, I could be next
(Chorus)
