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 »

And so the story's told of a hearty group of men
It's a tale of their triumphs and their woes
Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle
That inspires men to stand up for their rights
And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world
We can look back to these heroes of our past
With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will
No tyranny would quell them in their task

It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message
That time and tide waiteth for no man
So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome
It's for freedom and for happiness they toiled
An in looking to the future
We can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all
It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest
It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask

So come on rally round this brave and valiant cause
With tradition, pride, and honor at its core
With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men Faugh-an-ballagh
Clear the way, me boys

Under perilous conditions with small hope of success
They left behind the lives that they once led
And by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength
They cleared the way for the people of today
So when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark
And thank the men whose struggle broke the chain it's a long road up ahead of us
Let's forge on while we're strong and leave our mark of honor once again

So the story has been told and it comes now to an end
It's setting any era, any land
When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small
It inpires men to stand up for their rights
