Lyrics : Sentimental Dole
There's a foe living among us, masquerading as a friend
When you stare into the flashlights, you must look to comprehend
For they want to keep you docile, hence the boot upon your head
When they put you in a chokehold, keeps you down until you're dead
This is mass discrimination, on every colour, every creed
For to them you're just a number, both the cattle and the feed
It may be sunny in the country but the sun can come and go
There's still an anger in the stomach, collective hunger in thе soul
Sentimental dole
Whеre is the trust in the truth of equality? Oh
Wrapped in a flag and then sold as democracy, no
Constant hypocrisy, draw the poison from the wound
Reversing the blame, no longer a pleb to be played
Like a pawn in their game
There are many banners blowing, being carried by the mob
Tears forever flowing through the concrete and the sod
And the news provide the static, as reports come flooding in
About the riots of confusion between the women and the men
Loneliness the silent killer takes and never gives you back
For it steals and can't stop stealing, a twisted kleptomaniac
Rid yourself of their agenda, wash your spirit with some hope
See the mad collaborations like De Valera and the Pope
Sentimental dole
Where is the trust in the truth of equality? Oh
Wrapped in a flag and then sold as democracy, no
Constant hypocrisy, draw the poison from the wound
Reversing the blame, no longer a pleb to be played
Like a pawn in their game
He used to be a martyr till they nailed him to their cross and then left him at the altar to repay for what they lost. Deliver the key to wisdom from the wounds that scarred his hands. And he turned upon the system as he came to understand that [?] those, just to justify their crimes, against the other fallen idols who'd been cut down in their primes
I heard the prophet pray for pity, for the fools who would be king. And the remnants of the city as he closed his eyes to sing
When you stare into the flashlights, you must look to comprehend
For they want to keep you docile, hence the boot upon your head
When they put you in a chokehold, keeps you down until you're dead
This is mass discrimination, on every colour, every creed
For to them you're just a number, both the cattle and the feed
It may be sunny in the country but the sun can come and go
There's still an anger in the stomach, collective hunger in thе soul
Sentimental dole
Whеre is the trust in the truth of equality? Oh
