about

Dedicated to anyone lost in the struggle. Hold on to hope and pray for better days, cause they're on the way.

lyrics

in the pretty green isle of Eireann, there's a cloud over some of our towns,
in the land of a thousand welcomes, racism's still coming down,
from the top to the bottom, the system is still rotten, and the euro rules the roost, men and women in direct provision, and the living conditions abuse
there's traveller sites, where the rats run rife, on the outskirts of every town
that fire in Carrickmines, where ten souls died, and people are still looking down
where's your memory, wheres your memory gone,
no blacks no dogs no Irish, it wasn't that long, it wasn't that long
in the pretty green isle of Eireann, there's a shadow over some of our towns, in the land of a thousand welcomes, racism's still going down, up in the sky, I see those vultures, circling around for the scraps of our culture whole generations growing up homeless, kids never knowing where their heart or their home is, human beings dying on the streets, cold in their lungs and a cup at their feet, remember you're a paddy and a mick, good for nothing but stacking up brick, remember when the crop got sick, and we sailed those hunger ships,
where's your memory where's your memory gone
where's your memory where's your memory gone
more blacks more dogs more Irish
more blacks more dogs more Irish
more blacks more dogs more Irish
more blacks more dogs more Irish
more blacks more dogs more Irish
sometimes we must close our eyes, open up our minds to realise,
we are one, we all breath the same air and we all bleed the same colour
one love
it wasn't that long
it wasn't that long
it wasn't that long
it wasn't that long
it wasn't that long
