Droppin` Like Flies

<br>i recall back in `79 i was just a wee kid livin` in a dive <br>didn`t drink, didn`t dance, didn`t ever smoke hash <br>but it changed when i heard the clash <br>and you know i needed more so i got <br>up and out to the record store <br>i bought all the records i could afford <br>an` i played em all on my stereo <br><br>[Chorus:]<br>this is a song saluting punkrockers rise <br>and what they did to change the times <br>but with such a lifestyle they`re burnin` <br>on both sides <br>now they`re droppin` like flies <br>all those old punk rock guys <br><br>i became a fan &amp; i remain that way <br>and to this day, i`m still blown away <br>those bands just cut me to the bone <br>like the damned, the pistols &amp; the ramones <br>now we just wanna say <br>they made us what we are today <br>so now every time we play <br>we remember those of yesterday <br><br>[Repeat Chorus]
