the alternative - ireland lyrics
i don’t like to comment on a place i’ve never been to
is a cliché too often repeated when the conversation piece is ireland?
there’s a problem that seems obvious enough to everyone
but britain’s indifference makes the whole thing worsen
t.v propaganda adds to the myth
while the british army is sanctioned to k!ll and maim
religious differences are given the blame
they’ve housed the irish in bl++dy slums
they’ve fired plastic bullets at their children
the reason, in case you’re wondering
is so the british state’s riches can keep on growing
a country rife with poverty and unemployment
is not exactly blossoming with laughter or enjoyment
english state tears away any hope of improvement
they’ll bleed money, lives, potential dreams
diplock courts and torture becomes the norm
for those whose face just doesn’t fit
or those who don’t conform
forced confession, bribes + ensure the jails are overflowing
and if they’ve got some more room, they’ll push some more in
all these people want is a future for their children
decent homes and quieter streets
a less oppressive system
so much blood on britain’s hands
yet still we’re ignorant to their demands
so much blood on britain’s hands
yet still we’re ignorant to their demands
