lyrics

FOOL'S GOLD

Cathy, Catherine, I felt that you're part of me, my friend
you brought me home
A somewhere safe to lay my head
tucked me in and said “Child, here you can sleep”
Far away from the cold stone cess-pit wall
where they flung me in
And little bones stacked year after year
Distain. Hate
Under the watchful eyes of the Bon Secours sisters

I’m sorry I have to say
It must be said
Threw our babes in the shit hole
Threw yourselves in as well
x2

He said I don't know why it happened
The way it did and I fight for answers
Pave the way, Give the light to heal
Feel angry still
Those troubled waters will drown me
Battle that another day cannot win it all
We’ll all make mistakes
To win sometimes is to walk away

Chorus

The poet said “if gold shall rust, what will lead do ?”
Sisters, you have chanted, preached, whipped, abused,
The fear of God into us.
We made babes like hay in summer
Each harvest shipped off
Year in, year out
You have tarnished the cloths of heaven
Sown on the trinklets of hell
Hell

Let the children sleep
Ward of the hounds of hell !
x8

BORN BORED

Lights are blazing my eyes
Painting signs on the kitchen floor
You were the god I dreamed of
I am the whore who bore you
Here I am,
I am the whore who bore you
Begging for more

Born of madness and despair
Here I find everyday
A land of dust and sighs
Spin another story. Play another trick
And lie to me, just lie

The sky created is your own
In this empty bed
A syrian boy grey and old
A cartoon man shot and blood runs cold
Create us all from the same mould

You’re bored since day one
Pray in the morning
Then clean your gun
Keep the ugly truth hidden
And lie to me, just lie
x2

Just lie
And lie
