Poor Old Ireland |
Poor old Ireland, poor old universe |
Wonder who comes off the worse |
Poor old people mistreating misbelieving |
I think you’ve been cast by a curse |
But I don’t want you to die, I can see all the lies |
There’s nothing there that’s new |
But there’s still no need to make blind children bleed |
Even if what you say is true |
And meanwhile in the aisles of the churches with style |
They’re singing their songs to the Lord |
And the preacher’s carping that for failure on earth |
Heaven will be your reward |
Poor old Ireland tortured by past and |
Tarnished by future’s curse |
Poor old Ireland, poor old planet |
Poor old universe |
Oh Ireland your people mean more than the idols |
You seek to set upon earth |
And the day that you see that’s the day, that all of your |
Sadness and sickness will die |
For the enemy you seek to destroy is not the |
One who’s causing the pain |
He’s disguised himself well with his book and his bell but |
Evil is still his name |
Poor old Ireland tortured by past and |
Tarnished by future’s curse |
Poor old Ireland, poor old universe |
Wonder who comes off the worse |
