Doctrines Outdated |
Our differences far behind us |
Nothing matters anymore |
All I can do is smile and know, know you know |
What I’m thinking before |
This is not the place it used to be |
It always seems a dream |
The place I live — it is not here |
It’s somewhere in between |
It’s too dark and cold to smile |
Soldiers loom too keen to avoid |
All the same guns, kneecaps, and donations run rampant |
The argument keeps them employed |
What parliament could stand to realize is that |
They planted this troublesome seed |
And we fed off of it and now it’s all this- |
If you really want talk, don’t impede |
Investments gone, small business disappears |
When I look, I see no dreams, or dogma or rhetoric, or colors or campaigns |
I see funerals and mother scream |
I see hard men fall with pain in their eyes |
I see conflict vanish in air and crumbled buildings |
Where men finally decides that they with that their dead were still there |
I see a country who will not subsidize us and our own who won’t stand in the way |
Does Downing Street now turn its eyes on our people to see what we have to say |
Well, wait for peace from Britain and stand up |
For ourselves and nothing else but for our dead |
Not for money, security, indoctrinations, donations or anything else ever said |
To be recognized as a nation of people |
Who struggled and fought to be free |
Not as criminals, terrorists, or an inferior class |
But as activists who fought tyranny |
And echo these thoughts run throughout time |
Lest they be forgot |
That it was greed that let one people prevail |
Left another behind to rot |
If the investment now is agreed upon then there |
Must be limitations on capitol countries are allowed |
To procure, by Irish resource tax and relations |
Unless, you want us covered in plastic |
Like a Nashville tourist trap |
Or your grandpa 70 years old and cavorting in a leprechaun suit like a sap |
Fair business practice fair for all people |
So greed cannot set the stage |
Along with the minimum, so they don’t go crazy |
Politicians and businessmen must have a maximum wage |
Our differences far behind us |
Nothing matters anymore |
All I can do is smile and know, know you |
Know what I’m thinking before |
