Lyrics Dropkick Murphys – Bastards On Parade
Text:
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
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
Chorus:
So come on all you losers, you bastards and cheats (bastards and cheats)
Vagrants and barflies down on the streets (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
