| [00:41.71] |
I'm an Irishman |
| [00:42.80] |
|
| [00:43.65] |
Leather weathered Irish skin |
| [00:45.62] |
Beard orange as the sunset over the flag |
| [00:47.95] |
In the night sky we fly it in |
| [00:49.93] |
Pride for the life we fight to live |
| [00:51.57] |
History, I write with it |
| [00:52.95] |
Spit it with the dialect |
| [00:54.63] |
And this is a celebration of course |
| [00:57.72] |
The green, white, orange |
| [01:00.56] |
And when they pulled up on that shore |
| [01:02.40] |
First generation born |
| [01:03.96] |
Toast to those that made it |
| [01:05.68] |
on a boat to New York |
| [01:07.00] |
And when the English |
| [01:08.03] |
came the colonizer came |
| [01:10.14] |
They filled up bottles of gasoline, |
| [01:12.44] |
turned 'em into balls of flame |
| [01:14.03] |
And hurled 'em to protect what's ours |
| [01:15.56] |
Don't touch these lucky charms |
| [01:17.17] |
Whole bunch of Irish screaming |
| [01:19.23] |
"Fuck the London Guard" |
| [01:21.19] |
I'm kidding not dissin' |
| [01:22.41] |
London, this bloody war |
| [01:23.68] |
But go against the Irish |
| [01:25.35] |
and get a bloody jaw |
| [01:27.05] |
Preaching nonviolence |
| [01:28.22] |
but reminds of the scars |
| [01:29.70] |
And the bias, put a pint up |
| [01:31.54] |
everybody sing a song |
| [01:39.33] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:42.18] |
And live tonight |
| [01:43.37] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:45.42] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [01:47.25] |
that aren't with us |
| [01:48.61] |
And live tonight |
| [01:49.46] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:51.85] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:55.03] |
And live tonight |
| [01:55.95] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:58.24] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [02:00.06] |
that aren't with us |
| [02:01.41] |
And live tonight |
| [02:02.22] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [02:05.12] |
From New England to New Brunswick |
| [02:06.54] |
|
| [02:07.10] |
Galway to Dublin |
| [02:08.38] |
A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers |
| [02:11.72] |
Heart, blue collared workers and family |
| [02:14.85] |
My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty |
| [02:17.60] |
Now with whiskey in our veins |
| [02:19.63] |
Claiming were the bravest men |
| [02:21.41] |
I drank Old Crow, |
| [02:22.75] |
but pretended it was Jameson |
| [02:24.56] |
Dad sipped Guiness, |
| [02:26.12] |
I sipped Old English |
| [02:27.44] |
'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy, |
| [02:29.88] |
this is what a beer is" |
| [02:31.22] |
I put down the drink, |
| [02:32.38] |
couldn't drink like a gentleman |
| [02:34.22] |
That doesn't mean |
| [02:35.00] |
I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em |
| [02:37.32] |
Challenge us in football, |
| [02:38.92] |
yeah we might lose |
| [02:40.31] |
But don't put us next to a bar stool |
| [02:43.18] |
|
| [02:44.48] |
We take the history, script it in song |
| [02:46.66] |
Light the torch then you pass it on |
| [02:49.22] |
That's right I said, |
| [02:50.47] |
lineage through the rhythm |
| [02:51.86] |
we script it from the palm |
| [02:53.17] |
And we give til' Ireland is on |
| [02:54.81] |
|
| [02:55.40] |
Bottoms Up |
| [02:56.30] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [02:59.08] |
And live tonight |
| [03:00.18] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:02.32] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:04.25] |
that aren't with us |
| [03:05.49] |
And live tonight |
| [03:06.40] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:08.75] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [03:12.02] |
And live tonight |
| [03:12.89] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:15.19] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:16.96] |
that aren't with us |
| [03:18.40] |
And live tonight |
| [03:19.21] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:21.60] |
Let's go |
| [03:22.25] |
|
| [03:22.91] |
Hey~ |
