Dropkick Murphys' New Anti-I.C.E. Song Includes the Lyrics "Too Scared to Join the Military, Too Dumb to Be a Cop"

Dropkick Murphys are releasing the anti-I.C.E. song “Citizen I.C.E.” as part of a new tour-only split LP with fellow Boston band Haywire titled New England Forever.

“Citizen I.C.E.” is a reworking of the Dropkick’s 2005 song “Citizen C.I.A.” Performed live during the band’s Fall 2025 European tour, the reworking melds the original’s surging arrangement with lyrics that don’t pull punches: “Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop/ Citizen I.C.E.” Haywire also lend a hand and are featured on the track.

Last week, DKM released a video featuring the studio version of the song on Instagram, drawing attention to the tragic killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

“REST IN PEACE RENEE GOOD,” read the post. “Your family is in our prayers.”

Too bad this was only in Paris, though. They need to get over here.
