Dropping Like Flies Lyrics

Any minute the sparks will fly
At that point you will see fear in their eyes
It don't take much to send them crawling back
Just a harsh word then you attack
Gather up and
Take a sigh
See them dropping
Dropping like flies
Find revenge as
Sweet as pie
See them dropping
Dropping like flies
Some call them noble but I say they're scum
Put them in control see what you become
No excuses for lack of brains
You had your chance now you can't complain

Gather up and
Take a sigh
See them dropping
Dropping like flies
Find revenge as
Sweet as pie
See them dropping
Dropping like flies
See them dropping
Dropping like flies

Dropping
Smashing
Dying
Down

Can't you see 'em up there
Up on their hill so high
Close enough for gunfire
Shoot 'em down to size
Long way down

Gather up and
Take a sigh
See them dropping
Dropping like flies
Find revenge as
Sweet as pie
See them dropping
Dropping like flies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well I have a cd with some rare tracks. One of them is an interview with John Bush about the name of the song dropping like flies. In the interveiw he says that it came about when all these people in the music biz were losing their jobs. People that they didn't necessarily like. In fact people that they hated..."Some call them noble but I say they're scum " is the line. SO I hope that clears that up.
