  • The joy brings many things
    It cannot bring you joy
    Sons of mothers huddle here
    Men and boys

    1850 swung the doors
    And human sewage swept inside
    Where victims speak in whines
    And where the hardened cried

    I was sent here by a three foot half-wit in a wig
    I took his insults on the chin, and never did I flinch

    A swagger hides the fear in here
    By this rule we breathe
    And there is no one on this earth
    Who I'd feel sad to leave

    You see we all lose
    We all lose

    What those in power do to you
    Reminds us at a glance
    How humans hate each others guts
    And show it given the chance

    We never say aloud the things
    That we say in our prayers
    'Cause no one cares

    Many executed here
    By the awful lawfully good
    But the only thing that makes me cry
    Is when I see the sky

    Brendan Behan's laughter rings
    For what he had or hadn't done
    For he knew then as I know now
    That for each and every one, of us
    We all lose
    Rich or poor
    We all lose
    Rich or poor, they all lose Writer/s: MARTIN JAMES BOORER, STEVEN MORRISSEY
