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.

Verse 1: DADA The status of our future in both past and present time, DAE~ Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine DADA To determine and direct the lives of family men who bear the burden DAE Of living up to standard that doesn't exist in 1999
Chorus 1: ADAE Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line, ADG-DAE 10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time
Verse 2: DADA Times may be changing, but I'll never leave behind DAE~ The hopes and thoughts I have of better days for families such as mine DADA Because if history repeats itself, and time will surely tell DAE~ What goes around's gonna come around, and you'll know our pain too well
Chorus 2: ADAE Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line, ADG-DAE 10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time, ADAE And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the stories that they tell ADG-DAE Of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell...
