Dropkick Murphys Famous For Nothing Lyrics

Famous For Nothing Lyrics

The barrel fire's fading

My pals are disappearing

Another night is
passing but I won't go

It's 2AM at townie

and things are going my
way

Three buds, a glove and a foot of snow

There's two little
shits

Selling joints on the hill

And the kids down the lots

Are burning cruisers for a thrill

See, we had each other

It was
us against the world

Famous for nothing

Yeah, nothing was our
world



[Chorus:]

Well these lie won't save me

Don't you
know, don't you know

From the time that mad me

Here we go, here we
go



The courts are filling up

All the kids are coming
down

For a head start on the troubles

On a long night on the
town

Yeah, thank God it's Saturday

And half my problems go away

Sure the big ones on the way

But I know how to handle them

9 to 3
on weekdays

On the hour Sundays

The good lord was calling me

But I wasn't up

For the convent to the rectory

And over in the
sacristy

It's a goddamn travesty

And that's just my luck



[Chorus]



Here we go!

Their gang went my way for
basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't
pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing 



9
to 3 on weekdays

On the hour of Sundays

Jesus Christ was callin'
me!
