Forgotten Freedom
On this bright Easter Sunday
I wonder what James Connolly would say
To see what his country has become
He would grieve for the homeless and the poor
He would grieve for our forgotten freedom
But if he were alive today
I'm sure that his stomach it would turn
At the greed and the inequality
I believe that he is spinning in his grave
On this bright 1st of May
Oh I wonder what Jim Larkin would say
He would grieve for the homeless and the poor
He would grieve for our forgotten freedom
But if he were alive today
I'm sure that his stomach it would turn
At the minimum wage and the union bosses pay
I believe that he is spinning in his grave
On this bright August day
I wonder what Micheal Collins would say
To see what his country has become
He would grieve for the homeless and the poor
He would grieve for our forgotten freedom
But if he were alive today
I'm sure that his stomach it would turn
For they sold out the country that he loved
I believe that he is spinning in his grave
I believe that they're all spinning in their graves
I wonder what James Connolly would say
To see what his country has become
He would grieve for the homeless and the poor
He would grieve for our forgotten freedom
But if he were alive today
I'm sure that his stomach it would turn
At the greed and the inequality
I believe that he is spinning in his grave
On this bright 1st of May
Oh I wonder what Jim Larkin would say
He would grieve for the homeless and the poor
He would grieve for our forgotten freedom
But if he were alive today
I'm sure that his stomach it would turn
At the minimum wage and the union bosses pay
I believe that he is spinning in his grave
On this bright August day
I wonder what Micheal Collins would say
To see what his country has become
He would grieve for the homeless and the poor
He would grieve for our forgotten freedom
But if he were alive today
I'm sure that his stomach it would turn
For they sold out the country that he loved
I believe that he is spinning in his grave
I believe that they're all spinning in their graves
