Famous For Nothing Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys

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!
