The Real Mckenzies - Droppin' Like Flies 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 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 [Repeat Chorus] 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 [Repeat Chorus]
