Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys are an American punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1996. The band was initially signed to independent punk record label Hellcat Records, releasing five albums for the label, and making a name for themselves locally through constant touring and yearly St. Patrick's Day week shows, held in and around Boston. The 2004 single "Tessie" became the band's first and one of their biggest charting singles to date. The band's final Hellcat release, 2005's The Warrior's Code, included "I'm Shipping Up to Boston", which was featured in the Academy Award-winning movie The Departed and went on to become one of the band's biggest singles, one of their best-known songs, and an anthem for Boston sports teams. more »

We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
No mercy, no quarter
They'll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins

We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
No mercy, no quarter
They'll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins

We weighed anchor in anger, set sail for revenge
Hoisted the canvas turned her into the wind
We'll hang 'em high for justice and the whole world will see
Now off with their heads boys and bring 'em to me

We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
No mercy, no quarter
They'll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins

We'll rattle the sabers for the tyrants' demise
Feed half to sharks and the rest to the flies
An honorable death for you would be too nice
I'd like to savor the moment and kill you twice

We waited together for the cowards to come
Outgunned and outnumbered but we wouldn't run
No mercy, no quarter
They'll pay for their sins
Now lower the cannons the battle begins

The battle begins
