Love Ire & Song
Well a teacher of mine once told me
That life was just a list of disappoints and defeats
And you could only do your best,
And I said That's a fucking cop-out, you're just washed up and your tired,
And when I get to your age I won't be such a coward
But these day I sit at home, known to shout at my TV
And Punk Rock didn't live up to what I hoped that it could be
And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young
Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs
And I packed all my pamphlets with my bibles at the back of the shelf
Well it was bad enough the feeling, and the first time it hit
When you realised your parents had let the world all go to shit
And that the values and ideals for which many had fought and died
Had been killed off in the committees and left to die by the wayside
But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left
And got let down again by some poor excuse for protest
Yeah by idiot fucking hippies in 50 different factions
Who are locked inside some kind of 60's battle re-enactment
And I hung-up my banner in disgust and I head for the door
Oh but once we were young, and we were crass enough to care
But I guess you live and learn, we won't make that mistake again, no
Oh but surely just for one day, we could fight and we could win
And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible
Well we've been a good few hours drinking
So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking
If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking
Then we might as well have a parade
Cos if it's still going to hurt in the morning
And a better plan's set to get forming
Then where's the harm spending an evening
In manning the old barricades, so come on old friends to the streets
Let's be 1905 but not 1917, let's be heroes,
Let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkers
Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams
Let's divide up the world into the damned and safe
And then ride to the valleys like the old life brigade
And straighten our backs and we won't be afraid
And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade
So come on let's be young, let's be crass enough to care
Let's refuse to live and learn, let's make all our mistakes again yes
And then darling, just for one day, we can fight and we can win
And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible
Leave the mourning the to the morning
Yeah pain can be killed
With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills
But memories of hope, and glorious defeat
Are a little bit harder to beat
Send Love Ire & Song Ringtone to your Cell
Amor Ire & Song
Bueno, un profesor mío me dijo una vez
Que la vida era más que una lista de los decepciona y derrotas
Y lo único que podía hacer lo mejor posible,
Y yo dije: Eso es una mierda evasión, que está recién lavada y el cansancio,
Y cuando llegue a su edad no voy a ser tan cobarde
Pero estos días me siento como en casa, conoce a gritar a mi TV
Y el punk rock no estuvo a la altura de lo que yo esperaba que podría ser
Y todas las cosas que yo creía con todo mi corazón cuando yo era joven
¿Son sólo posavasos para las cervezas y las superficies limpias de drogas
Y me cogió todos los folletos con mis biblias en la parte posterior de la plataforma
Bueno, era bastante malo el sentimiento, y la primera vez que golpeó
Cuando se dio cuenta de que sus padres habían dejado el mundo todos van a la mierda
Y que los valores e ideales por los que muchos habían luchado y muerto
Había sido asesinado en los comités y se fue a morir en el camino
Pero fue peor cuando se dirigió a los niños a la izquierda
Y he defraudado una vez más por algún pobre excusa para la protesta
Sí por los hippies de mierda idiotas en 50 diferentes facciones
¿Quiénes son encerrados en una especie de batalla 60 de la recreación
Y me colgó mi bandera con disgusto y me dirijo a la puerta
Ah, pero onc
