Dropkick Murphys Bastards On Parade Lyrics

Bastards On Parade Lyrics

I've lost all the time that I have in this world 

I spent it unwisely, unwisely you see 

And I can't get it back and I can't move forward 

I'm broken and I'm empty, it's over for me 

If I could undo all the wrongs that I've caused 

Fall to my knees, pray for swiftness and just 

For I'm just a fool, a fool driven to dust 

And the world ain't gonna change for me 

So give me one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations

Aren't just manifest in memories we're destined to repeat 

A second chance to prove I know right from wrong 



I swear I'll do things different but can't promise to be strong 

If you could look into this old face and try to see the young man 

I swear I once was pretty, not the monster you now see 

But I squandered all my chances, lost my faith and took for granted 

This life and precious one chance, the whirlwind I'll wreak 



   CHORUS: 

   So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats 

   Vagrants and barflies down on the street 

   Follow this path to salvation, vindication awaits 

   We're marching on East Broadway street tonight
