|The joy brings many things
It cannot bring you joy
Sons of mothers huddle here
Men and boys
 
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 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
By this rule we breathe
And there is no one on this earth
Who 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’s guts
And show it given a chance
 
We never say aloud the things
That we say in our prayers
Cause 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
 
Bredan Behan laughter rings
For what he had or hadn’t done
Because he knew then as I know now
That for each and every one of us:
We all lose
Rich or poor, we all lose

Lyrics

The joy brings many things

It cannot bring you joy Sons of mothers huddle here Men and boys

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 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 By this rule we breathe And there is no one on this earth Who 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’s guts And show it given a chance

We never say aloud the things That we say in our prayers Cause 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

Bredan Behan laughter rings For what he had or hadn’t done Because he knew then as I know now That for each and every one of us: We all lose Rich or poor, we all lose
