It only takes one bullet to **** a king But you can't **** a dream The talk is talked And the walk is walked today It's a shame the bridge is named for a hood who wore a hood The good General turned grand in the land and time of dragons that feasted on Sundays and still would if we let them Or maybe not Maybe it's a fitting reminder A bridge to a kinder gentler place Because we're better than that now Aren't we

Bridge of the Grand Dragon
come out ye Black ‘n’ Tans           ye self-despising slaves to the crown come out and fight me like a man           I pity thee—Mercury to the Union Jack cowering behind blinding flares that never cease to illuminate the British Empire. Sympathetic Mercury—suppliant to the tempest knees of Jove—what good is sympathy when ******* by cowardice? open the flood-gates for the hand of Jove to press a cage upon the misted shores na hÉireann.
