Something you should know about The Luck of the Irish Lyrics

The Luck of the Irish lyrics - John Lennon -
|
|
|
If you had the luck of the Irish
|
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
|
You should have the luck of the Irish
|
And you'd wish you was English instead!
|
|
|
A thousand years of torture and hunger
|
Drove the people away from their land
|
A land full of beauty and wonder
|
Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!
|
|
|
If you could keep voices like flowers
|
There'd be shamrock all over the world
|
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
|
Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn
|
|
|
In the 'Pool they told us the story
|
How the English divided the land
|
Of the pain, the death and the glory
|
And the poets of auld Eireland
|
|
|
If we could make chains with the morning dew
|
The world would be like Galway Bay
|
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
|
The world would be one big Blarney stone
|
|
|
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
|
As they kill with God on their side
|
Blame it all on the kids the IRA
|
As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!
|
|
|
If you had the luck of the Irish
|
You'd be sorry and wish you was dead
|
You should have the luck of the Irish
|
And you'd wish you was English instead!
|
Yes you'd wish you was English instead!
