G
If you Ghad the Cluck of the GIrish
You'd be Bmsorry and Cwish you were Ddead
You should Ghave the Cluck of the GIrish
And you'd Dwish you was D7English inGstead!
A thousand years of Ctorture and Ghunger
Drove the Bmpeople aCway from their Dland
A Gland full of Cbeauty and Gwonder
Was Draped by the D7British briGgands! DGodGdamn! DGodGdamn!
If you could keep Cvoices like Gflowers
There'd be Cshamrock all over the Gworld
If you could drink Cdreams like GIrish streams
Then the Cworld would be high as the D7mountain of Gmorn
In the 'Pool they Ctold us the Gstory
How the BmEnglish diCvided the Dland
Of the Gpain, and the Cdeath and the Gglory
And the Dpoets of D7auld EireGland
If we could make Cchains with the Gmorning dew
The Cworld would be like Galway GBay
Let's Cwalk over rainbows like Gleprechauns
The Cworld would be one big D7Blarney GStone
Why the hell are the CEnglish there Ganyway?
As they Bmkill with CGod on their Dside
Blame it Gall on the Ckids in the GIRA
As the Dbastards coD7mmit genoGcide! DAye! GAye! DGenoGcide!
If you Ghad the Cluck of the GIrish
You'd be Bmsorry and Cwish you were Ddead
You should Ghave the Cluck of the GIrish
And you'd Dwish you was D7English inGstead!
Yes you'd Dwish you was D7English inGstead!
