Celtic Tiger |
| Greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy |
| So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy |
| Now they saw the Celtic Tiger in my home town |
| Brings jewels and crowns, picks you up off the ground |
| But the Celtic Tiger does two things |
| It brings you good luck or it eats you up for its supper |
| It’s the tale of the two cities on the shamrock shore |
| Please Sir can I have some more |
| Cos if you are poor you’ll be eaten for sure |
| And that’s how I know the poor have more taste than the rich |
| And that’s how I know the poor have more taste than the rich |
| Hear the Celtic Tiger roar — I want more |
| Hear the Celtic Tiger roar — I want more, more, more |
| The fastest growing inflation rate in the world, |
| the cost of a run down house is absurd |
| This isn’t any age for a low income wage |
| Ask anyone who’s locked in a cage |
| A couple with kids can’t afford a place to live |
| Even if they have a good job |
| We’re bring robbed by the builders and the fat cat government |
| A league of greed and they don’t even need for a thing |
| It’s a sin |
| But it’s the nature of the beast |
| You’d better go and find a priest and confess |
| Because your greed is gonna leave you soulless |
| Where we gonna live, what we gonna do |
| We’ll have to move in with the woman in the shoe |
| They’re driving us onto the streets |
| While the fat cat in government cheats, and always |
| gets away with his crime |
| A kid steals a jacket and does time |
| Just look at the world around you |
| Tell why is there so much need |
| Because of greed |
| So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy |
