Are you the one that blocked the sun?
That fired the bullet from the gun
That laughed aloud at what you’d done
To this fair land that cash built
That sat on high upon your throne
Surveying what you bought and owned
Unhearing of the anguished moans
Of this fair land that cash built
Was it you that sowed the seed
Nurtured it with savage greed
Watched it grow to barb clad weed
In this fair land that cash built
Did you set the tiger free
To spread disease and malady
Then killed it with unbridled glee
In this fair land that cash built
Did you cast your mantle dark
Extinguish love and caring heart
And dance upon the final spark
Of this fair land that cash built
You put Cuchulain’s name to shame
Sold you’re soul for foolish gain
On you’re children ladled pain
In this fair land that cash built
