To the workhouse where tears were not shed Long, before the dawn of day, which wasn’t his to take Before long, the government man would come - poke, **** pry, and Moved again with the burning thatch still echoing its ring The only truth, what had been - not what was or would be, To come - the blistering of feet in hot summer sun Present day and although the oppression has, In a way, gone away, There’s a red hand, clasped in a vice grip, The land of one percent is for the few and don't you be having the lip to lament, Even with enforced eviction - ‘why don’t you have the rent?’ History repeats itself, this time at the hand of someone like you See, the bourgeois, petit, never ceased to be A tragedy From inequality born - Ag Coinneáil Daoine Slán
