The Basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
The beautiful, Emerald Isle
The greenery, so fertile
Where money reigns, and vultures smile
Our heritage, now defiled
Their icy grasp has dropped the ball
The cost of the basics has gone AWOL
I look around to see and can't believe
The gentrified cold streets, I'm now forced to leave
I grieve
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
As usual, we toe the line
The boys in green, can't find the time
Bail us out, and keep them sweet
Live in debt, eternally
Generations against the wall
Austerity staring straight at us all
The strings on my guitar they gently weep
For all the promises that they never keep
I grieve
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
The beautiful, Emerald Isle
The greenery, so fertile
Where money reigns, and vultures smile
Our heritage, now defiled
Their icy grasp has dropped the ball
The cost of the basics has gone AWOL
I look around to see and can't believe
The gentrified cold streets, I'm now forced to leave
I grieve
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
As usual, we toe the line
The boys in green, can't find the time
Bail us out, and keep them sweet
Live in debt, eternally
Generations against the wall
Austerity staring straight at us all
The strings on my guitar they gently weep
For all the promises that they never keep
I grieve
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
Ireland you don't know the basics (Ireland)
