Biography:
Dropkick Murphys is a punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States in 1996. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, the band made a name for itself because of its relentless touring and for its annual St. Patrick's Day weekend shows in Boston. The band's songs often deal with Celtic influences, and the working-class environment in which the band members grew up.
The band put out a series of EPs and was signed by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong's label Hellcat Records.

Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts
[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Dm F
Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Bb F C
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
Dm F
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Bb F C
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance
[Refrain]

The judges took your rights

You can have your children
