Irish Son

　　Brian McFadden

　　by lvboy

　　I was born in the heart of Dublin

　　To a holy book full of rules

　　Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools

　　We were warped by the Christian Brothers

　　In the cell blocks at our schools

　　Get a handprint on your skin

　　From a claw of Jewels

　　Go hit me now

　　That I'm twice your size

　　We brushed off the accusations

　　And bowed before your lies

　　This is the city that raised me

　　With the religion they gave me

　　Now I'm old enough to know my own mind

　　And it was leaving that saved me

　　I seen so much that has changed me

　　Just break with your past

　　Feed your own mind

　　This Irish son has moved with the times

　　Weddings deaths and baptizing children

　　That's my debt paid to the church

　　I don't ned that kind of salvation

　　When I get hurt

　　Don't fill my head with sermons

　　And force me to believe

　　This is the city that raised me

　　With the religion they gave me

　　Now I'm old enough to know my own mind

　　And it was leaving that saved me

　　I seen so much that has changed me

　　Just break with your past

　　Feed your own mind

　　This Irish son has moved with the times

　　Our father who art in heaven

　　Come down here and make your

　　presence known

　　We can't do it on our own

　　The lunatics let run the asylum

　　How can we find peace inside your home

　　When you can't trust your own

　　This is the city that raised me

　　With the religion they gave me

　　Now I'm old enough to know my own mind

　　And it was leaving that saved me

　　I seen so much that has changed me

　　Just break with your past

　　Feed your own mind

　　This Irish son has moved with the times
