che guevara t-shirts (the promised land) - ciaran murphy lyrics
[chorus]
in a land where cops wear che guevara t*shirts that were made by children’s hands
and people think a socialist republic is a sweatshop in strabane
and derry lads don’t dare to cross the border for they’ll end up on remand
ah, it’s hard to speak your mind, boys
in the promised land
they laugh at us, they’re callin’ me a dreamer when i talk of sharin’ wealth
but the first in line to celebrate the boom is still the first one on the shelf
if they’ve pinned you down, they’ve given you a mortage
they won’t need to use a gun
and it’s hard to pay the bills, boys
when you’re on the run
see, i’ve been runnin’ around in a hostile town i’ve been
trying hard to disguise a frown
my hair’s a mess and i look like a clown
the sky was raining stone
i see dangerous kids and they’re sharpenin’ knives
i see glamorous men and their glamorous wives
and old girlfriends i know gettin’ on with their lives
i’d so the same but i can’t afford a coat
the sun was up but the sky was raining stone
i’m sorry if this song sounds sad, i don’t mean to complain
sometimes i underemphasise and focus on the pain
i know that i don’t celebrate as often as i should
and when it’s good, these days of ours are made in heaven
[chorus]
in a land where cops wear che guevara t*shirts that were made by children’s hands
and people think a socialist republic is a sweatshop in strabane
and ministers wish jail on irish rebels in the name of bobby sands
ah, it’s hard to speak your mind, boys
or you might get left behind, boys
ah but i’ll be speaking mine, boys
in the promised land
