Droppin' Like Flies 
Real McKenzies

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 & 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 

well i became a fan & i remain that way 
and to this day, i'm still blown away 
and then theres me i'm not dead yet
but never ever know i could be next
