The Joy brings many things | |||
it cannot bring you joy | |||
sons of mothers huddle here | |||
man and boy | |||
1850 swung the doors | 1850 swung the doors | ||
and human sewage swept inside | |||
where victims speak in whines | |||
and where the hardened cried | |||
I was sent here by a | |||
three-foot half-wit in a wig | |||
I took his insults on the chin | |||
and never did I flinch | |||
A swagger hides the fear in here | |||
by this rule we breathe | |||
and there is no one upon this earth | |||
whom I’d feel sad to leave | |||
You see | |||
we all lose | |||
we all lose | |||
What those in power do to you | |||
reminds us at a glance | |||
how humans hate each others guts | |||
and show it given the chance | |||
We never say aloud the things | |||
that we say in our prayers | |||
'cos no one cares | |||
Many executed here | |||
by the awful lawfully good | |||
but the only thing that makes me cry | |||
is when I see the sky | |||
Brendan Behan's laughter rings | |||
for what he had or hadn’t done | |||
for he knew then | |||
as I know now | |||
that for each and every one of us | |||
we all lose | |||
rich or poor | |||
we all lose | |||
rich or poor | |||
we all lose. | |||
