I sing the song of the
How many years and you're still not
And your mother and you ask god why
is the knife and the scars run deep
How many races with much to weep
And your cry
And you ask god why

Annie, she came Dunlavin Town
The TB and killed her family all around
booms
Eleven in two
Katie she came from Townsend street
Ten in a bed and no shoes on feet
came
They the patriots game
Freddy, he from the Iveagh flats
Tenement slums and infested with
Sleeping on straw
not to break the law
Thomas, he from Kilmaine in Mayo
Semi was the only life you'd know
In a two shack
Then jailed in

I to the east, I look to the west
To the and the south, and I'm not too impressed
after time
After after crime
They raped, robbed, pillaged, enslaved and
Jesus Christ was their god and they done it in his
So he could take the if it's not all a game
With bible in one hand and a in the other
They came to purify my land of my Gaelic Irish
And fathers, and sisters and
our own ancient customs, laws, music, art
Way of and culture
in structure
We had a
When were still neanderthal nations
We with the Native American, the Indian in Asia
Aboriginal
The African people with their history so
And our children still weep and our lives are still
You came Germany, from France, from England
And Spain
From Belgium and from
You all done the same

You took was not yours
against your own bible
You broke your own
to out do the rival
But did you apologize
For the hundreds and of lives
You destroyed and
Or have you realized
Did you never shame
For what was in your country's name
And find out who's to and why they were so inhumane
And still they teach you in school
About those glorious of rule
And how it's destiny to be
to me
But if any kind of mind
You'll see that all kind
Are the of this earth
And hate for them will chew you up and spit you out

You'll kill our will to be free, to be free
You'll never kill our to be free, to be free
You'll never kill our will to be free, to be
Inside our minds we hold, the key
