Give a Man a Spud
[Verse 1] Give a man a spud He'll call it a feast While London’s lot grow fat on the beast Fields run dry The hunger's grip tight A fire burns in the coldest night [Verse 2] Blame it on the rains or call it fate's play But we know the score at the end of the day The sacks of gold shipped 'cross the seas While men and babes dropped to their knees [Chorus] We'll rise like the dawn Break free of these chains In fields of emerald They won't take our name A legacy carved from blood and tears A nation that stands No more living in fear [Verse 3] The drunken songs in hollow nights By fires burning low Dreams take flight Through the famine Through the strife We swear to claim our stolen life [Bridge] With hands worn raw and hearts of steel We'll turn the tide Make the tyrants kneel Every storm will pass Every shadow fade And in our hearts A future made [Verse 4] Give us a spud And you scrape our pride But we won't bow No We won't hide We'll take the fields We'll take the reins For Ireland’s ghost won't rest in chains
