Lyrics

In nineteen twenty-two, the Irish had a say
In the first constitution, named Article 48
Then in 1928, the Irish were betrayed
We once had the right to decide Ireland's fate
Have you ever wondered why?
They don't need the people's say?
For a migration pact, no obstacle in the way?
No vote or referendum can stop State control
Restore 48 and we'll take rule of our home
When we joined the E.U., they hid behind veils
They sold us on trade, "to save us from ourselves"
But the Irish were tricked, into fraudulent pacts
They skip referendum, abusing contracts
Since then E.U. treaties and laws they enforce
They run through the Dáil, behind government doors
Direct democracy is the right of the land
There's no people's power, just E.U. demands
You can drive us out til nothing's left
Kill working men with legal theft
But know this well, we're here to stay
Till you restore Article 48
We are the carbon you want to erase
We survived it before, the Irish race
No protocol, pact, treaty or games
Will stand above our sovereign claims
For the damage that's done unto Ireland today
Can they be imprisoned? And be locked away?
For the people who died from migration and laws
Who made that decision? Your names will be drawn
The Seanad, the Dáil, and C&AG
SIPO and Ombudsman, you have failed thee
Just know our dear Dáil, whatever happens today
Accountable all, you will be in God's name
Hundreds of billions to pay E.U. rules
Over 4 billion tax on all fuels
Small farms are falling and cities in crime
The streets are in fear, people are dying
Seventeen K people and not a place of their own
Unchecked asylum, destroying our homes
Seven hundred million to save poor RTÉ
Feck the homeless and poor, we need shite TV
You can drive us out til nothing's left
Kill working men with legal theft
But know this well, we're here to stay
Till you restore Article 48
We are the carbon you want to erase
We survived it before, the Irish race
No protocol, pact, treaty or games
Will stand above our sovereign claims
Here's something fun that the people should know
Where exactly does money for the NGOs go?
Show the books, I am sure we won't find any crimes
Or no cheques disappearing, behind moral lines
Digital I, Digital D, the next big overreach
Wrap it up in a lie, "protect children sir please"
This is only step one in the line of control
The virtuous acts of a State with no soul
Hate-speech laws, hate free-speech because
We can see the truth behind a trending cause
Anti "this" and "that", right-wing me shoite
What narrative must I agree with tonight?
You can't run our farms from a glass room or aisle
You can't grow the food in a spreadsheet or file
Manipulate law, legislation and rule
Hiding in contracts from us normal fools
What was the E.U.? But for Commerce and Trade
What has it become? But a way to invade
What gives them the right to control Ireland's fate?
If Collins was here, he'd restore 48
What they call GDP is a huge falsity
As the country gets worse and taxed to its knees
From the famine we learned that dying is slow
Not by gunshot or blight but by tax, laws and gold
The leaders of old, the last of the brave
Were willing to die to see Ireland saved
"But we're European now, haven't you heard?
Being Irish is racist, right-wing and absurd"
From the north to the south, west to the east
The people of Ireland are rising to meet
We've all had enough and begun to push back
The silence of a nation has started to crack
With all of my heart I urge you to know
The original Article 48 as it's known
The State was never meant to hold such control
We the people of Ireland now reclaim our home
You can drive us out til nothing's left
Kill working men with legal theft
But know this well, we're here to stay
Till you restore Article 48
We are the carbon you want to erase
We survived it before, the Irish race
No protocol, pact, treaty or games
Will stand above our sovereign claims
