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 »

Well, I just got back from a break in the fight 
I was weighing in heavy but still feeling alright
All I hear in the distance, mines and shells
Here come the sirens wailing, another attack to be repelled

Do you think we're gonna make it?
I don't know unless we try
You could sit here scared to move, or we could take them by surprise
It's submission that they want
It's surrender that they need
When we're doing it their way their aims will be achieved

They're gonna come when you're not ready
When you're not too well-prepared
They're gonna prey upon your weakness, no man's soul is ever spared
You've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them
Show them what it's all about 
This man is not for sale, there will be no backing down

Stand up and fight, and I'll stand up with you!
We shall succeed
Stand up and fight, and I'll stand up with you!

They won't get me, they won't get me
Though they never cease to try
They won't get me, they won't get me
I would rather fight and die
They won't get me, they won't get me
Well my friend, will they get you?
When they get you when they get you
You tell me, what are you gonna do?

Do you think we're gonna make it?
I don't know unless we try
You could sit here scared to move or we could take them by surprise
It's submission that they want
It's surrender that they need
When we're doing it their way their aims will be achieved

They're gonna come when you're not ready
When you're not too well-prepared
They're gonna prey upon your weakness, no man's soul is ever spared
You've got to stand up, yeah, and fight them
Show them what it's all about 
This man is not for sale, there will be no backing down

Stand up and fight, and I'll stand up with you!
We shall succeed
Stand up and fight, and I'll stand up with you!

Stand up and fight, and I'll stand up with you!
We shall succeed
Stand up and fight, and I'll stand up with you!
