| [00:41.710] |
I'm an Irishman |
| [00:42.800] |
|
| [00:43.650] |
Leather weathered Irish skin |
| [00:45.620] |
Beard orange as the sunset over the flag |
| [00:47.950] |
In the night sky we fly it in |
| [00:49.930] |
Pride for the life we fight to live |
| [00:51.570] |
History, I write with it |
| [00:52.950] |
Spit it with the dialect |
| [00:54.630] |
And this is a celebration of course |
| [00:57.720] |
The green, white, orange |
| [01:00.560] |
And when they pulled up on that shore |
| [01:02.400] |
First generation born |
| [01:03.960] |
Toast to those that made it |
| [01:05.680] |
on a boat to New York |
| [01:07.000] |
And when the English |
| [01:08.040] |
came the colonizer came |
| [01:10.140] |
They filled up bottles of gasoline, |
| [01:12.440] |
turned 'em into balls of flame |
| [01:14.030] |
And hurled 'em to protect what's ours |
| [01:15.560] |
Don't touch these lucky charms |
| [01:17.170] |
Whole bunch of Irish screaming |
| [01:19.240] |
"Fuck the London Guard" |
| [01:21.190] |
I'm kidding not dissin' |
| [01:22.410] |
London, this bloody war |
| [01:23.680] |
But go against the Irish |
| [01:25.350] |
and get a bloody jaw |
| [01:27.050] |
Preaching nonviolence |
| [01:28.220] |
but reminds of the scars |
| [01:29.700] |
And the bias, put a pint up |
| [01:31.540] |
everybody sing a song |
| [01:39.330] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:42.180] |
And live tonight |
| [01:43.370] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:45.420] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [01:47.250] |
that aren't with us |
| [01:48.610] |
And live tonight |
| [01:49.460] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:51.850] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:55.030] |
And live tonight |
| [01:55.950] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:58.240] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [02:00.060] |
that aren't with us |
| [02:01.410] |
And live tonight |
| [02:02.220] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [02:05.120] |
From New England to New Brunswick |
| [02:06.540] |
|
| [02:07.100] |
Galway to Dublin |
| [02:08.390] |
A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers |
| [02:11.720] |
Heart, blue collared workers and family |
| [02:14.850] |
My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty |
| [02:17.600] |
Now with whiskey in our veins |
| [02:19.630] |
Claiming were the bravest men |
| [02:21.410] |
I drank Old Crow, |
| [02:22.750] |
but pretended it was Jameson |
| [02:24.560] |
Dad sipped Guiness, |
| [02:26.120] |
I sipped Old English |
| [02:27.450] |
'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy, |
| [02:29.880] |
this is what a beer is" |
| [02:31.230] |
I put down the drink, |
| [02:32.390] |
couldn't drink like a gentleman |
| [02:34.230] |
That doesn't mean |
| [02:35.000] |
I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em |
| [02:37.330] |
Challenge us in football, |
| [02:38.920] |
yeah we might lose |
| [02:40.310] |
But don't put us next to a bar stool |
| [02:43.180] |
|
| [02:44.480] |
We take the history, script it in song |
| [02:46.660] |
Light the torch then you pass it on |
| [02:49.220] |
That's right I said, |
| [02:50.470] |
lineage through the rhythm |
| [02:51.860] |
we script it from the palm |
| [02:53.170] |
And we give til' Ireland is on |
| [02:54.810] |
|
| [02:55.400] |
Bottoms Up |
| [02:56.300] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [02:59.080] |
And live tonight |
| [03:00.180] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:02.320] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:04.250] |
that aren't with us |
| [03:05.490] |
And live tonight |
| [03:06.400] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:08.750] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [03:12.020] |
And live tonight |
| [03:12.890] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:15.190] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:16.960] |
that aren't with us |
| [03:18.400] |
And live tonight |
| [03:19.210] |
'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:21.600] |
Let's go |
| [03:22.250] |
|
| [03:22.910] |
Hey~ |
