!!!UNFINISHED!!! | |
one day i was walking past the bridgeon dolphins barn, down by the old canal i saw some children in a car | |
in the back they were shooting up smack and i had a bird's eye view | |
when i dialled for help told me theres nothing we can do | |
On both sides of the river, clearly to be seen, down alon O'Connell street and up to Stephen's green | |
heroin sold openly, the was no need to hide, | |
drug squad were outnumbered, seems like their hands were tied | |
john whacker humphries, he's a family man | |
him and his wifre they gave the children everything they can#faced with the scourge of heroin | |
they'd not accept defeat | |
they joined other concerned parents | |
to put the dealers off the street | |
they marched on dealers houses and ordered them to quit | |
time and time again they warned "we've had enough of it" | |
dirty needles in our doorways junkies hanging all about | |
keep on dealing heroin, and your gonna be moved out | |
from st teresas gardens, to the flats in ballaels bun | |
concerned parents action action, and the dealers on the run | |
they swore they'd stick together till the heroin was stopped | |
can anybody tell me why they got their knuckles rapped? | |
(instrumental) | |
They were rounded up and charged with crimes against the state | |
brought down to the green st. court, to decide their fate | |
there wasnt any jury, and there was no bail | |
concerned parents were taken off to jail | |
I was sitting in the gallery, with family friends and wives | |
I strained to hear who told the truth and who was telling lies | |
junkies duries and police on the prosecutions side | |
i swear to god thats what i saw |
