Dropkick Murphys - The State Of Massachusetts Lyrics






She had excuses and she chose to use them
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Her husband was violent, malicious and distant
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts

They've been taken away! Hey!
They've been taken away!

Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night

I suppose you've been a victim, I suspect you may have lied
Have you lost all ambition, won't you give this thing a try
If you can't and you fail, you won't be the only loser
These kids don't stand a chance with you in their future

They've been taken away! Hey!
They've been taken away!

Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night

Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night

    You've heard of dashboard knee + tennis elbow? Well, out West there's a medical diagnosis for twisted ankles from jumping off balconies of where houses + married women's homes.

    Therefore, the Dropkick Murphys "safeword" I suggest is:

    "I've fallen + I can't get up!"

    This means send immediate reinforcements in full metal jackets.

    M.... E....

    I believe this was written for or about James Lynch's cousins his uncle Neil Lynch's children

  40. B.... P....

    Fuck yes for Irish heritage

  41. B.... P....

    Damn son where’d you find this

  42. S.... P....

    If you like this listen to the rumjacks too

  43. W.... C....

    Yanks always love forcing their 'heritage'. You aren't Irish if the last person to sound Irish in your family died 100+ years ago, and you live in the US. It's not the worlds fault that you, as a country, have no culture.

    W.... C....

    Couldn't have said it any better tbh

  44. J.... M....

    I want a loop of the first 12 seconds

  45. J.... F....

    Ireland has always been English and always will, Rule Great Brittania 🇬🇧

    J.... F....

    Stop and think about what you posted. Or don't because internet Anglo trying to be ghey. Union Jackass Potatoes, instead of working with your Irish volk to clear your genetic home of ZOG, you would rather sit behind your wall and protect a treacherous crown that wants you genocide tier dead. Rule Britannia is more akin to worshipping hapa N1GG312 divorcee babies and sucking Rothschild cock. You idiots arguing over who is the biggest Christcuck is leaving your home divided and open to merchant influences. Imagine my surprise when you finally see the streetshittening is seeping in around you to fuck you in the ass. Don't bitch when it hits, because your foghorn arse aint prepared for nonstop total war with a state [your own state] sponsored racial alien entity.
