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

until 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 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

until this day

i'm still blown away

and then there's 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
