lirik lagu james shannon – tough lovin’ dublin
[chorus]
dublin city
you have let us down
too many times felt hope for the future
always turned us around, yeah
promised to never look down
said i would hold my ground
but dublin city
why’d you have to go and let us down
down, down
[verse]
hasn’t been the same since foreign lands swallowed up my friends
and now the evenings seem colder ’round my ends
too much time spent, worried ’bout
where will we go next
have you seen the f~cking prices of our rents
extortionate
plus the fact that just last year
over 2,000 kids were madе homeless on our streets
we’vе got some pr~cks in power lying through their t~~th
i guarantee, most of ffg
never had to struggle just to eat
or to feed a f~cking family on their knees
due to carelessness and greed
from positions that designed to aid the average persons needs
but most the people just accept it like it’s protocol see, ay
don’t get me started on the market
and the living wage, we bust a gut
weekly just so we can f~cking pay
to keep our heads above the rising tide
corruption left and right
look back on history its just another page
when will we demand change
[chorus]
dublin city
you have let us down
too many times felt hope for the future
always turned us around, yeah
promised to never look down
said i would hold my ground
but dublin city
why’d you have to go and let us down
down, down
[verse]
and most the clubs are closed
where are the young to go?
no opportunity, no freedom so they all leave home
what’s left behind is but a trap that’s set to break our souls
weigh up the options should you emigrate?
or get the dole
a land of chance me hole
hardly accept our own
and your friendly neighbours
probably racist to his f~cking bones
i hate the fact our people judge our people
based on skin tone
don’t try and tell me irelands not racist
the times have shown
the times have shown
this place called home has took its toll
among a sea of broken people you’d feel so alone
it’s like the clocks are ticking faster let the truth be known
no chance to grow around this place
i need to up and go
the far right is rising quick just like the prices
with a grasp around your neck
they’ll squeeze the life from out your eyes
and don’t you see?
why must my people all be struggling
i guess its tough to love
but it be tougher loving dublin
[chorus]
dublin city
you have let us down
too many times felt hope for the future
always turned us around, yeah
promised to never look down
said i would hold my ground
but dublin city
why’d you have to go and let us down
down, down
