Flogging Molly nacieron en una de las muchas tabernas de los nietos de los emigrantes irlandeses de principios del siglo pasado que huyeron de la Gran Hambruna que mató a un millón de personas e hizo emigrar a otro millón y medio. Muy influenciados por la música de sus antepasados, comenzaron a tocar en la taberna de Molly Malones, en Los Angeles, dotando al folk irlandés de bandas como The Dubliners de otro tipo de música, más parecido a The Pogues.

AE Sad days GD Kissing the cheeks of the AE Families GD Who are walking away AE Tragic GDGDE The pubs are all closin the system is broken decayed
Because
AE Business GD Is down at the depot AE Defenses GD Are the only things built AE Neighbors GDGDE Wave goodbye to eachother this country is over they say
[Chorus] A Yeah this life D In a modern town GA The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out AD It's not a good day left to be in a fight GA Cuz livin is hard through the struggles of life GDG If nothing gets done it'll never be right AAAG/D But don't shut em down [Chorus]
AE Lately GD The twenty-first century's been AE Crazy GD It's the sign of the times AE Buildings GDGDE Decomposing in slumber there's no work for all till they wake
[Chorus]
[Bridge] FC Too many faults no reasons FC The rain that falls dry bleedin FCE Upon the ashes of our homes our homes save our homes [/Bridge]
[Bass solo]
Manic The word on the street here is Panic There's a riot on hand AE People GDGDE Takin care of the people there's no other way or we'll break
[Chorus] Repeat once more
