Tale Of The Ballydowse

Open your ears and up a seat for the tale of the ballydowse.
 Just what they are might well be you when
 The tell reaches your house
 Between way past plenty and a need no one should know
 They were born and raised unsettled
 Within sight of high and low
 Equal blessings, hardhsips, toes, and
 Fingers, opened eyes returned and lingered
 To the ones who got picked last
 To the dancers never asked
 To the darkened half of the heart of man
 That leaves his brother trapped
 Underbred and under way we are leaping to
 The fray throwing for the lovely underdogs
 Underbrush and underbelly flags flying
 Willy-nilly we'll undermine the greedy and the cruel.
 Come along all are welcome let
 Man's barriers be broken, from silver
 Spoons to empty pockets all
 Raise your glass and raise your voices ain't
 Against then be for us
 No paradise we'll reap but we'll go down
 Plowing just the same
 So you sat and heard the tell, if you're
 Leaving just as well
 Too many living on the fences as it is
 But if your heart volunteers to the crying
 And the cheers
 Let the dead bury the dead and come along
 Equal blessing, hardships, crying, and singing
 You'll get back just like you're giving
 To the ones who got picked last
 To the dancers never asked
 If you got ears then hear if you don't forget we asked
