The Fortunes of War

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 »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Each town has its cliques those who don't get along
And then there's towns I know where certain kids just don't belong
So know your rivals and watch your back
'Cause no one's gonna be there when the enemy attacks

When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war
Wouldn't things be different had the tables been turned?
If the people won't protect you you must fend for yourself
When the justice eludes you it's the fortunes of war

You drove right over him and then you sped away
How does it feel to kill and know you didn't pay?
So walk away even though a life is gone someday,
You'll know the price when god repays you for your wrongs
