|The joy brings many things  
|
It cannot bring you joy
The Joy brings many things
Sons of mothers huddle here  
it cannot bring you joy  
Men and boys
sons of mothers huddle here  
man and boy


1850 swung the doors  
1850 swung the doors  
And human sewage swept inside  
and human sewage swept inside  
Where victims speak in whines
where victims speak in whines  
And where the hardened cried
and where the hardened cried
 
I was sent here by a 3 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
I was sent here by a
By this rule we breathe
three-foot half-wit in a wig
And there is no one on this earth
I took his insults on the chin
Who I’d feel sad to leave
and never did I flinch


You see we all lose
A swagger hides the fear in here
We all lose
by this rule we breathe
and there is no one upon this earth
whom I’d feel sad to leave


What those in power do to you
You see
Reminds us at a glance
we all lose
How humans hate each others’s guts
we all lose
And show it given a chance


We never say aloud the things
What those in power do to you
That we say in our prayers
reminds us at a glance
Cause no one cares
how humans hate each others guts
and show it given the chance


Many executed here
We never say aloud the things
By the awful lawfully good
that we say in our prayers
But the only thing that makes me cry
'cos no one cares
Is when I see the sky


Bredan Behan laughter rings
Many executed here
For what he had or hadn’t done
by the awful lawfully good
Because he knew then as I know now
but the only thing that makes me cry
That for each and every one of us:
is when I see the sky
We all lose
Rich or poor, we all lose


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.
