ciaran murphy - state of the nation lyrics
well, this place is always changin’
the roles are rearrangin’
romantic ireland’s dead and gone
it stayed a while but not for long
though all things pass away
but i’m not sure we’re knowin’
exactly where we’re goin’
we’ve thrown away a lot of stuff
because it doesn’t pay enough
but the rich must have their way
so ancient sites forgotten
or bulldozed into nothing
replacin’ godlike beauty spots
with petrol pumps and parkin’ lots
sure, it happens every day
and if we do nothing now, well then soon there’ll be nothing at all
when we’re pullin’ down houses and we’re puttin’ up buildings so tall
when businessmen rush as half_concerned impotent government ministers crawl
and the high seat of tara, you won’t recognise it at all
oh, you won’t recognise it at all
we don’t want saints or scholars
just euros, pounds and dollars
don’t talk of connolly’s legacy
it’s bad for our economy
and you won’t get rich that way
we’ll use the easter rising for birdies advertising
but don’t talk about the rebels’ goals
and cover up the bullet holes
and hope it goes away
and there’s wise men’ll tell us we’re not to look into the past
well it’s as well we can look to the future or nothing would last
kieran doherty died as an irish td and not a word of condolence was passed
but for princess diana they lowered the flag to half_mast
oh, they lowered our flag to half_mast
so who’s taking us back to the past?
we’ve learnt a valued lesson
from centures of repression
we’ve held the line and never thought
the men above us could be bought
but what else can i say?
they brought in legislation
to k!ll the irish nation
and christened it ‘democracy’
that doesn’t mean a thing to me
while our power’s locked away
and we’re sending back babies to h_ll at mcdowell’s command
and we’ll sell half our country to sh_ll at a stranger’s demand
they celebrate wealth that we’ll never see
give unionised workers the sack
the key to success is the sweat off an immigrant’s back
it’s the sweat off an immigrant’s back
