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 »

Gonna be a blackout 
Gonna nail me a black curtain up good an' tight 
Gonna do what my air raid man says is right 
I'm gonna pull down my shade an' turn out my light 
There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight 

Cause my town is big and my town is bright 
My town can work and my town can fight 
So don't stike no light and don't cause a red 
There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight 

[Chorus]
Gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight 
Gonna be a blackout 
Gonna do what my air raid man says is right 
Blackout tonight 
Pull down my shade an' turn out the light 

Lights will go out all over town 
And the air raid warden will walk up and down 
It's part of the war, I'm gonna do right 
There's gonna be a blackout, blackout tonight 

[Chorus]
