For one hundred years my land's been town in two
|
Bigoted people think that they are fighting for you
|
A coded warning, a distant shooting
|
I've never seen an army act quite like this
|
A son without a father, another widow made, playing god
|
They banded together in 1916
|
Defending our island from the British regime
|
The people they loved them for fighting their cause
|
Where are the heroes now?
|
But every day we take one step closer to a time in our lives
|
Where we can't remember hate
|
Our lives all the time moving where we're not afraid of you.
|
|
Innocent children caught up in a war
|
They've lived with bombing and terror since they were born.
|
Their cause is replaced by greed
|
They keep all their guns to help them fight for their drugs
|
Politicians they tug at the threads of our peace
|
Till nothing's left but a divided race
|
Irish eyes aren't smiling anymore
|
