letra de air strip one - ciaran murphy

there’s a problem with hypocrisy inside the irish mind
we worship foreign leaders here as if they are so kind
arriving uninvited and preaching peace and love
when not a million miles away they’re bombing foreign cities from above
take the blindfolds from your eyes
one look behind the scenes and you will realise
the only difference is the size
the biggest murderers are decked in suits and ties
well, first up we got clinton, he taught us how to live
he dazzled us with promises and said we should forgive
then he made our land a golf course, from cork to donegal
now when they patronise us, in pathetic irish fashion we will crawl
we’ve got no dignity at all
we’re looking forward with our backs against the wall
the biggest terrorist of all
turn on the christmas lights of belfast city hall

[chorus]
but we’re alright – see we’ve got this celtic tiger now
so we’re alright – although it never seems to pay
we’re alright – this trickle down might take a while
but we’re alright – we’re not getting pennies from the usa

and there’s warplanes down in shannon that could k!ll a million men
and b-st-rd free state leaders’ll invite them back again
and they’d see no contradiction in how these things are used
and the b-ll-cks that they’re teaching us to keep the people muddled and confused
sure, they’re using violence every day
they’re k!lling anyone who might get in their way
look at the damage they can do
sudan, afghanistan, iraq to name a few

so there’s a problem with hypocrisy inside the irish mind
we’ll jail the men of westport so sh-ll can rob us blind
and the men of law and order, they’ll do their best to show
in defence of wealth and privilige, no act, no law, no measure is too low
look at the lengths that they will go
to keep their system and to keep us all in tow
even children aren’t immune
they’re throwing babies out because they’re born too soon

got this celtic tiger now, so we’re alright
although it never seems to pay
we’re alright – and the corrs have got their mbe
so we’re alright, we’re not getting pennies from the usa
