Doctrines Outdated

Our differences far behind us
 Nothing matters anymore
 All I can do is smile and know, know you know
 What I'm thinking before
 This is not the place it used to be
 It always seems a dream
 The place I live – it is not here
 It's somewhere in between
 It's too dark and cold to smile
 Soldiers loom too keen to avoid
 All the same guns, kneecaps, and donations run rampant
 The argument keeps them employed
 What parliament could stand to realize is that
 They planted this troublesome seed
 And we fed off of it and now it's all this-
 If you really want talk, don't impede
 Investments gone, small business disappears
 When I look, I see no dreams, or dogma or rhetoric, or colors or campaigns
 I see funerals and mother scream
 I see hard men fall with pain in their eyes
 I see conflict vanish in air and crumbled buildings
 where men finally decides that they with that their dead were still there
 I see a country who will not subsidize us and our own who won't stand in the way
 Does Downing Street now turn its eyes on our people to see what we have to say
 Well, wait for peace from Britain and stand up
 For ourselves and nothing else but for our dead
 Not for money, security, indoctrinations, donations or anything else ever said
 To be recognized as a nation of people
 Who struggled and fought to be free
 Not as criminals, terrorists, or an inferior class
 But as activists who fought tyranny
 And echo these thoughts run throughout time
 Lest they be forgot
 That it was greed that let one people prevail
 Left another behind to rot
 If the investment now is agreed upon then there
 Must be limitations on capitol countries are allowed
 To procure, by Irish resource tax and relations
 Unless, you want us covered in plastic
 Like a Nashville tourist trap
 Or your grandpa 70 years old and cavorting in a leprechaun suit like a sap
 Fair business practice fair for all people,
 So greed cannot set the stage
 Along with the minimum, so they don't go crazy
 Politicians and businessmen must have a maximum wage
 Our differences far behind us
 Nothing matters anymore
 All I can do is smile and know, know you
 Know what I'm thinking before
