Oliver Boy Flogging Molly

Oh, Oliver boy, what did you do?
But crushed a hand you never shook
Then robbed the rights of people to be free
Oh, Oliver boy, it's a terrible state
You left behind the worse off race
Where dignity and pride fought for their place
Oh, Oliver boy now you are gone
And we're still here where we belong
Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see

Now the sun shines on the page I write
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
No lands are promised lands
When will we see?
So don't tell me that your God's my God
I don't think they even care at all
Just a pantomime behind the curtain lies deceit
Oh, listen to me bark out loud
Without a voice and little growl
Snapping at the heels I wait
For something more to change
The more they stay the same

Oliver boy, it's the same militia
Oliver boy, just the clothes are different
Oliver boy, it's the same old story
Where there's blood there's death not glory
