Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys are an American punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1996. The band was initially signed to independent punk record label Hellcat Records, releasing five albums for the label, and making a name for themselves locally through constant touring and yearly St. Patrick's Day week shows, held in and around Boston. The 2004 single "Tessie" became the band's first and one of their biggest charting singles to date. The band's final Hellcat release, 2005's The Warrior's Code, included "I'm Shipping Up to Boston", which was featured in the Academy Award-winning movie The Departed and went on to become one of the band's biggest singles, one of their best-known songs, and an anthem for Boston sports teams. more »

Something's gone wrong with the world today
What's the matter with the human race
Everybody's fighting for more power and money
Braveheart's a racist
The paperboy's a junkie

And what's with the role models for all our boys and girls
Anorexic skinny monsters who seem to rule the world
The ball players you loved as a kid are gone
They've been replaced by steroid fed Neanderthals
(Replaced by Neanderthals)

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem

It turns out the lyrics that you live by are a fraud
When your favorite band's singer got arrested
With a tranny on the job
Meanwhile little Danny down the block's all alone
He's been abused by the Parish priest
He'd embarrassed and ashamed
Thinks he disgraced the family name
He's gonna buy a gun and settle the score
Then who you're gonna call 
the local cop stalking girls down the mall
Or the world's greatest crooks from the FBI
(The crooks from the FBI)

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered, when the ones that we rely on break their word

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered, when the ones that we rely on break their word

Dad's never home, he says he's working over time
Meanwhile Mommy's head's in the sand she thinks everything is fine
She says "Now Dad's important kids, so stay out of his way"
But little did she know that the governor was gay
(She didn't know that the governor was gay)

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered, when the ones that we rely on break their word

Shattered! Shattered! Whoa!
Shattered! Shattered! Whoa!
Shattered! Shattered!
When the ones that we rely on break their word!
