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 Politicials they tug at the threads of our peace Till nothing's left but a divided race Irish eyes aren't smiling anymore.
