Droppin' Like Flies Lyrics

I recall back in '79 I was just a wee kid livin' in a dive
Didn't drink, didn't dance, didn't ever smoke hash
But it changed when I heard the clash
And you know I needed more so I got
Up and out to the record store
I bought all the records I could afford
An' I played em all on my stereo

This is a song saluting punkrockers rise
And what they did to change the times
But with such a lifestyle they're burnin'
On both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those old punk rock guys

I became a fan & I remain that way
And to this day, i'm still blown away
Those bands just cut me to the bone
Like the damned, the pistols & the ramones
Now we just wanna say
They made us what we are today
So now every time we play
We remember those of yesterday
