Do me a favor today will ye?
Your green tuxedo looks snazzy,
But while you're ironing it,
Getting ready for your Paddy Party,
Perhaps say a prayer
For the country you only notice
Once a year in March.
Before you drink the green beer
Consider the ones who starved
For the sake of freedom.
For each sheep that slipped off a limestone shelf
For the extinct bear & wolves,
And before you toast,
Perhaps tell Shell Oil to fuck off
And leave the green isle alone.
There's a transparent girl
Pissing on the floor
Of a Belfast prison
But someone's cabbage in America is getting cold.
