Ireland

ireland is at war with herself

Hopeless that I couldn't help

When ireland is at war with herself

My heart was strong but I was wrong

To think that I could save her

Her head was mixed in politics

And I fell out of favor

There was no trial

No mercy mild

And now I am forever exiled

Ireland is at war with herself

All the time I spent in ireland

She never gave a hint of discontent

We used to run through the fields hand in hand

I was her little boy I was her somewhat bigger man

I pledged my loyalty

I was her patriot

I was her everything that she'd soon forget

Ireland is at war with herself

Hopeless cause I couldn't help

When ireland is at war with herself
