Christy Moore - Oblivious lyrics
[Christy Moore - Oblivious lyrics]
What will it take to make us angry
Where is the spark to light our flame
We've been sold out, taken in, yet blindly
We'll do it all again, fuel that gravy train
Oblivious
They give all we treasure
Away for half nothing
Banish our children to labour
On rich foreign shores prey on the weak
Bow to the ones who have plenty
We follow them blindly again as we did before
We stick with The Tribe, we stand by our man
Whipped into line by this great master plan
Stuck in a spiral still fighting
An old civil war the Men and Womеn of 1916
Risked their lives for a National drеam
One hundred years later, what was it all for
Hear their voices resounding
Calling to me and to you
All they dreamt of and died for
Squandered by scoundrels and fools
Is this the best we can do?
Where is the spark to light our flame
We've been sold out, taken in, yet blindly
We'll do it all again, fuel that gravy train
Oblivious
They give all we treasure
Away for half nothing
Banish our children to labour
On rich foreign shores prey on the weak
Bow to the ones who have plenty
We follow them blindly again as we did before
We stick with The Tribe, we stand by our man
Whipped into line by this great master plan
Stuck in a spiral still fighting
An old civil war the Men and Womеn of 1916
Risked their lives for a National drеam
One hundred years later, what was it all for
Hear their voices resounding
Calling to me and to you
All they dreamt of and died for
Squandered by scoundrels and fools
Is this the best we can do?
