Click on the title to link a YouTube film clip of the Dropkick Murphys performing Never Alone.
In this series, presented under the headline “Songs To While Away The Class Struggle By”, I will post some songs that I think will help us get through the “dog days” of the struggle for our communist future. I do not vouch for the political thrust of the songs; for the most part they are done by pacifists, social democrats, hell, even just plain old ordinary democrats. And, occasionally, a communist, although hard communist musicians have historically been scarce on the ground. Thus, here we have a regular "popular front" on the music scene. While this would not be acceptable for our political prospects, it will suffice for our purposes here. Markin.

"Never Alone"
You say its becasue we�re boisterous
You hate us cause we got our dignity
We stand together proud and strong
This is a place where we belong
We got loyal friends we keep our heads held high,
We�ll stick together you and I
Don�t need no guns or drugs on our streets
just a place to go and the boots on our feet
Chorus: Never alone. . .
The city streets are where we roam
Never alone. . .
This is Boston its our home
Never alone. . .
The city streets are where we roam
Never alone. . .
This is Boston its our home
Young skinhead they call you hooligan
Just because you don�t make any sense to them
But the blood that runs right down your wrist
Dont come from a knife, but the cuts on your fist�
Your torn up knuckles and faded blue jeans
Are the colors you wear and the life that you�ve seen
You tell the truth look people in the eye
Don�t live you life in no baggy disguise
chorus:
Dont need no gang to watch my ass
Just loyal friendship and a pint of Bass
We�ll sweat in the ring and bleed in the streets
But our will and spirit can not be beat
You can shoot and you can kick but together we�ll stick
Through thick and thin not stick or stone
Can break the bond that has here grown
Arm and Arm We Fight As One
