The Luck of the Irish [live] - John Lennon

[00:24.820]If you had the luck of the Irish
[00:29.460]You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
[00:34.30]You should have the luck of the Irish
[00:38.609]And you'd wish you was English instead!
[00:42.229]
[00:45.719]A thousand years of torture and hunger
[00:50.209]Drove the people away from their land
[00:55.289]A land full of beauty and wonder
[00:59.749]Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!
[01:05.359]
[01:06.939]If you could keep voices like flowers
[01:11.459]There'd be shamrock all over the world
[01:16.289]If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
[01:20.949]Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn
[01:26.329]
[01:29.319]In the 'Pool they told us the story
[01:33.969]How the English divided the land
[01:38.799]Of the pain, the death and the glory
[01:43.379]And the poets of auld Eireland
[01:47.119]
[01:48.169]If we could make chains with the morning dew
[01:52.919]The world would be like Galway Bay
[01:57.679]Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
[02:02.429]The world would be one big Blarney stone
[02:07.499]
[02:10.980]Why the hell are the English there anyway?
[02:15.690]As they kill with God on their side
[02:20.560]Blame it all on the kids the IRA
[02:25.250]As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!
[02:31.400]
[02:32.350]If you had the luck of the Irish
[02:37.50]You'd be sorry and wish you was dead
[02:41.870]You should have the luck of the Irish
[02:46.650]And you'd wish you was English instead!
[02:51.450]If you had the luck of the Irish
[02:56.300]You'd be sorry and wish you was dead
[03:01.120]You should have the luck of the Irish
[03:05.900]And you'd wish you was English instead!
[03:10.950]Yes you'd wish you was English instead!
