[Ab] [Gm]
[Fm] [Gm]
[Fm] Okay, I want to talk about Ireland.
[Bb]
Specifically, I want to talk about [Fm] the famine.
About the fact that there never [Bb] really was one.
There was no [Fm] food.
Irish people were only allowed to eat [Bb] potatoes or all of the other food meat, fish [Fm] and vegetables
which shipped out of the country on [Bb] guard to England while the Irish people [Fm] starved.
And then, in the middle of all [Bb] this, they gave us money not to teach our children [Ab] Irish.
And so, we lost our [Bb] history.
And this is what I think is still hurting [Fm] me.
You see, we're like a child that's been [Bb] battered as to drive itself out of its [Fm] head because it's rotten and still feels all the painful [Bb] feelings.
But then you lose contact with the [Fm] memory.
And this leads to massive self [Bb]-destruction, alcoholism, drug addiction, [Ab] all desperate attempts at running.
[Bb] And in its worst form, becomes actual [Ab] killing.
And if there ever is going to be [Bb] healing, there has to be remembering [Fm] and then grieving so that the world can be forgiven.
[Bb] There has to be knowledge [Fm] and understanding.
All the [Bb] lonely people, [Fm] [Ab] we do it for [Fm] our comfort.
[Ab] All the [Bb] lonely people, [Fm] [Ab] we do it for [Bb] our comfort.
[Fm] An American Army regulation [Bb] says that it isn't for more than 10% of the [Fm] nation to do so, causes permanent psychological [Bb] damage.
It's not for me, but they didn't know [Fm] that.
Anyway, during the supposed [Bb] famine, we lost a lot more than 10% of our [Fm] nation through deaths on land or in ships of [Bb] immigration.
But the famine in Burgos is not [Fm] starvation, no, it's using the controlling of our [Gm] education schools.
They're all on about Black [Fm] 47, although not about the terrible famine.
[Bb] But what they don't say is in [Fm] truth, there [Ab] really never was one.
[Cm] All the [Bb] lonely people, [Fm] [Ab] we do it for [Bb] our comfort.
[Fm] All the [Bb] lonely people, [Fm] [Ab] we do it for [Fm] our comfort.
[Eb] [Fm] So let's take a look, shall we, [Bb] at the highest statistics of child abuse in the [Fm] AEC.
And we say we're a [Ab] Christian country, [Bb] but we've lost contact with our [Fm] histories.
We used to [Ab] worship God as a mother.
[Gm] We're still being punished [Fm] for magic [Cm] stress [Fm] disorder.
Look at all our old [Cm] men, old [Bb] pups.
Look at all [Fm] our young people on drugs.
We used to worship God as an order.
[Bb] Now look at what we're [Cm] doing to each [Fm] other.
We even love killers of [Cm] ourselves.
[Bb] The most childlike, trusting people in the universe.
[Fm] And this is what's wrong [Cm] with us.
[Gm] Our history books, the parent figures [Fm] lie to us.
I see the Irish.
It's a race like a child, it's got itself bashed in the face.
And if there ever is going to be healing, [Bb] there has to be remembering.
[Cm] And then [Fm] grieving, so that the bond will be fulfilled.
[Bb] There has to be knowledge [Fm] and understanding.
[Cm] All the lonely [Fm]
[Cm] people, we do it for our [Fm] comfort.
All the lonely people, we do it for our [Bb] comfort.
