[Verse 1]
We always Bmsing, even when were Elosing
'Cos GDublin's drone is hard enough especially when you're down and you're Eboozing
We Emsing the Auld Triangle and then the Tommy Ryan
'Cos Gall the world's a jail and we Acan't remember why
[Chorus]
EmWhy we agreed to live and lie in embers Bmof a cold old fire nobody remembers
They Dhand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're Acattle at the stallAsus2  A  
[Verse 2]
We look for Bmsigns that Dublin's heart's still Ebeating,
That Gconcrete and glass and peelers and mass, they haven't stopped the people from Escreaming,
Being Emtrapped by all the cameras you're inclined to stay at home,
And forGget some songs were written to reAmind you you weren't born
[Chorus]
EmBorn to live and lie and die in embers Bmof a cold old fire nobody remembers
They Dhand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're Acattle at the stallAsus2  A  
[Verse 3]
We see the Bmcracks under the founEdation,
GSmouldering on the faces of the people on the drip of isoElation,
We Emhear the sounds come streaming across the crackling air,
The Gbroken words of swine who would Atell us that we were
[Chorus]
EmBorn to live and lie and die in embers Bmof a cold old fire nobody remembers
They Dhand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're Acattle at the stall
And Emwhen did we agree to live and lie and die in embers Bmof a cold old fire nobody remembers?
They Dhand the ashes back to me down the button factory, we're Acattle at the stall.Asus2  A
