Bastards on Parade

Bastards on Parade by the Dropkick Murphys

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


So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats
Vagrants and barflies down on the streets
Follow this path to salvation vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway streets tonight

If you can 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 reep

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 come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats
Vagrants and barflies down on the streets
Follow this path to salvation vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway streets tonight

So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats
Vagrants and barflies down on the streets
Follow this path to salvation vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway streets tonight

So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats
Vagrants and barflies down on the streets
Follow this path to salvation vindication awaits
We're marching on East Broadway streets tonight

Arguing race, religion and culture is retarded and serves no purpose other than to divide us into "this" or "that." Its all trivial bullshit. Quoting facts from a history book is equally ridiculous. The only real truth is what you see with your own eyes. Lets go Murphys!

@Ariuq94 You honestly don't know what ur talking about. Nowadays Germans are no Celts at all, the Celts once ruled all of Europe including Turkey, but this was before the rise of the Roman Empire. But even the people we call Celts, have little in common with the ancient Celts. The problem is that during the 16th-19th centuries the (pre-)Romanticism of the Celts in music and literature have led to Celtic nationalism, which falsely suggest that modern Celts are related to ancient Celts.

@atomic116090 Not every European is Celtic. Celtic talks about the Germans, Irish, Scottish, French, British. Then you have the Norse in the north, the Spanish in the south, the list goes on. The point is unless you can trace your family back to one of those, you aren't Celtic so much as European Mutt.

@atomic116090 There is also people of Asian decent and Native Americans. I don't know if you have ever been there but it is a pretty diverse place.

[atomic116090]

@JS500Y Afro-Americans come from Africa, but even Latino's come from Europe
