Real Mckenzies - Droppin Like Flies - Текст песни

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
