Dropkick Murphys - Famous For Nothing lyrics

rate me

The barrel fire's fading

My pals are disappearing

Another night is passing but I won't go

It's 2AM at townie

and things are going my way

Three buds, a glove and a foot of snow

There's two little shits

Selling joints on the hill

And the kids down the lot

Are burning cruisers for a thrill

See, we had each other

It was us against the world

Famous for nothing

Yeah, nothing was our world

Well these lies won't save me

Don't you know, don't you know

From the time that made me

Here we go, here we go

The courts are filling up

All the kids are coming down

For a head start on the troubles

Of a long night on the town

Yeah, thank God it's Saturday

And half my problems go away

Sure the big ones on the way

But I know how to handle them

9 to 3 on weekdays

On the hour Sundays

The good lord was calling me

But I wasn't up

From the convent to the rectory

And over in the sacristy

I'm a goddamn travesty

And that's just my luck

Well these lies won't save me

Don't you know, don't you know

From the time that made me

Here we go, here we go

Here we go! Yeah!

Their gang went my way for basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing

9 to 3 on weekdays

On the hour Sundays

Jesus Christ was calling me

Here we go! Yeah!

Their gang went my way for basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing

Their gang went my way for basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's were ringing

The bells of St. Mary's were ringing
