I already love the Dropkick Murphys to a ridiculous degree – they’re right up there with Flogging Molly as one of my favorite bands. And now they just released one of the songs from their upcoming album in support of the Union protesters in Wisconsin. You can listen to it on their website:
Sure gets my blood going.
Lyrics:
When the boss comes callin’ they’ll put us down
When the boss comes callin’ gotta stand your ground
When the boss comes callin’ don’t believe their lies
When the boss comes callin’ he’ll take his toll
When the boss comes callin’ don’t you sell your soul
When the boss comes callin’ we gotta organize
CHORUS:
Let them know
We gotta take the bastards down
Let them know
We gotta smash them to the ground
Let them know
We gotta take the bastards down
When the boss comes callin’ you’ll be on your own
When the boss comes callin’ will you stand alone?
When the boss comes callin’ will you let them in?
When the boss comes callin’ will you stand and fight?
When the boss comes callin’ we must unite
When the boss comes callin’ we can’t let them win
CHORUS
We gotta take the bastards down
When the boss comes callin’ they’ll put us down
When the boss comes callin’ gotta stand your ground
When the boss comes callin’ don’t believe their lies
When the boss comes callin’ he’ll take his toll
When the boss comes callin’ don’t you sell your soul
When the boss comes callin’ we gotta organize
CHORUS
CHORUS
