Droppin' Like Flies - The Real Mckenzies

Droppin' Like Flies - The Real Mckenzies Lyrics

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 punk rockers rise
And what they did to change the times
But with such a lifestyle they burnin'
On both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those punk rock guys

I became a fan & 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 now every time we play
We remember those of yesterday

[Repeat Chorus]

Suck with it just keeped me to
Bone so everytime I play
I remember the great
