Dropkick Murphys Album

[Dedicated to the memory of John Kelly]

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone,
We came to this country, you made it our home.
This man so humble, this man so brave.
A legend to many, he fought to his grave.
Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror,
in a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow.
Say Johnny me boy, this ones for you.
With the strength of many and the courage of few.
To what do we owe this man who's fight was for the masses, he gave his life.
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone, we came to this country, you made it our
home.
A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime.
He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time.
He wasn't a crook, but he couldn't be conned.
John knew the difference
between right and wrong.
Say Johnny me boy, you live no longer,
Others forgotten, your memory's stronger.
Lets drink to the causes in your life:
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife.
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.
We came to this country, you made it our home.
And the boys on the docks needed John for sure.
When they came to this
country he opened the door.
He said "Man I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind.
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind."
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.

You say its because we're boisterous
You hate us cause we got our dignity
We stand together proud and strong
This is a place where we belong
We got loyal friends we keep our heads held high,
We'll stick together you and I
Don't need no guns or drugs on our streets
just a place to go and the boots on our feet.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Young skinhead they call you hooligan
Just because you don't make any sense to them
But the blood that runs right down your wrist
Don't come from a knife, but the cuts on your fist
Your torn up knuckles and faded blue jeans
Are the colors you wear and the life that you've seen
You tell the truth look people in the eye
Don't live you life in no baggy disguise.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston it's our home.
Don't need no gang to watch my ass
Just loyal friendship and a pint of Bass
We'll sweat in the ring and bleed in the streets
But our will and spirit can not be beat
You can shoot and you can kick but together we'll stick
Through thick and thin
not stick or stone
Can break the bond that has here grown
Arm and Arm We Fight As One.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...
This is Boston its our home.
Never alone...
The city streets are where we roam.
Never alone...

Got a bleak perspective,
I'm a streetwise man.
Going nowhere with my life.
Careening toward an early death, a streetwise man;
On the corner every night.
So brace-for impact, brace-for impact, brace-for impact, why don't you brace.
The end is coming, no time for running.
Dealing drugs to little kids, a streetwise man.
Selling death and making cash.
Pulling scams and moving bids, a streetwise man.
Society has called my bluff tonight.
So brace-for impact, brace-for impact, brace-for impact, why don't you brace.
The end is coming, no time for running.

When I was thirteen, I bought a scally cap looked up to the older guys who drank
at the rat
couldn't wait to grow up just to drink with the crew put my name on the map and
have a social few

I recall when I was small I thought I'd be legend soon
but that was then and this is now a harder road cannot be found don't get me
wrong,
good times were had sometimes the fun outweighed the bad but all in all,
now said and done I can recall more bad than fun

[Chorus:]
It's killing me - the answer's here, it's plain to see it's taken me
I'm half the man I thought I'd be it's killing me
it's taken years but now I see I'm not the man I thought I'd be

I'd fight them all, big or small angel dust and Bud tall collars up and fists
the same
protect your friends and family name had my lumps,
received a few but not near what I deserved

This Song Goes Out To All The Trendy,
Spoiled Bastards Who Listen To Shitty Music!
Euro Trash, go away, so so trenty, your pathetic.
Euro Scumbag, champagne and cavier, techno bullshit, blarin from your daddys
car.
You are such a mess, I hate you Euro Trash.
You try hard to dress like your the best.
Why don't you must go away, don't you look down on me.
Go away and stay.
You go down to M-80 tonight, see throught clothing way too tight.
Euro jerkoff who the fuck do you think you are?
Spoiled rich boy, fuck your ero bars!
You are such a mess, I hate you Euro Trash.
You try hard to dress like your the best.
Why don't you must go away, don't you look down on me.

Some times I get so fired up I never feel like comin down.
But your attitude you have is tearin us apart.
You constantly whine and moan, waxing passively.
I've got a solution for you today.
We'll take the front seat mister, and we're never gonna take the back
We'll take the front seat, mister liberal scum to the back.
You come forward with an attitude forthright.
But it's only temporary, feigned and fucking tried.
We have an ongoing war me and you, but I've got the answer and I know what to
do.
We'll take the front seat mister, and we're never gonna take the back
We'll take the front seat, mister liberal scum to the back.
Anger, Dischord, Pissed Off, Lets Tear This Place Apart!
We'll take the front seat mister, and we're never gonna take the back
