The Famine (Saint Sinead O'Connor Cover ) 04:05
lyrics
OK, I want to talk about Ireland Specifically I want to talk about the "famine" About the fact that there never really was one There was no "famine" See, Irish people were only allowed to eat potatoes All of the other food, meat, fish, vegetables Were shipped out of the country under armed guard To England while the Irish people starved And then, on the middle of all this They gave us money not to teach our children Irish And so we lost our history And this is what I think is still hurting we See, we're like a child that's been battered Has to drive itself out of its head because it's frightened Still feels all the painful feelings But they lose contact with the memory And this leads to massive self-destruction Alcoholism, drug addiction All desperate attempts at running And in its worst form becomes actual killing And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering and then grieving So that there then can be forgiving There has to be knowledge and understanding [Refrain: Sinéad O’Connor] All the lonely people Where do they all come from? [Verse 2: Sinéad O’Connor] An American Army regulation Says you mustn't kill more than 10% of a nation 'Cause to do so causes permanent "psychological damage" It's not permanent, but they didn't know that Anyway, during the supposed "famine" We lost a lot more than 10% of our nation Through deaths on land or on ships of emigration But what finally broke us was not starvation But its use in the controlling of our education Schools go on about "Black 47" On and on about "The terrible famine" But what they don't say is in truth There really never was one [Refrain: Sinéad O’Connor] (Excuse me) All the lonely people (I'm sorry, excuse me) Where do they all come from? ("That I can tell you in one word") All the lonely people Where do they all belong? [Verse 3: Sinéad O’Connor] So let's take a look, shall we The highest statistics of child abuse in the EEC And we say we're a Christian country But we've lost contact with our history See, we used to worship God as a mother We're suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder Look at all our old men in the pubs Look at all our young people on drugs We used to worship God as a mother Now look at what we're doing to each other We've even made killers of ourselves The most child-like trusting people in the Universe And this is what's wrong with us Our history books, the parent figures lied to us I see the Irish as a race like a child That got itself bashed in the face And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering and then grieving So that there then can be forgiving There has to be knowledge and understanding [Refrain: Sinéad O’Connor] All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? Outro: Jack Lynch & Zero Mostel] We stand on the brink of a great achievement In this island there is no solution To be found to our disagreements By shooting each other There is no real invader here We are all Irish in all our Different kinds of ways We must not, now or ever in the future Show anything to each other Except tolerance, forbearance And neighbourly love Because of our traditions everyone here Knows who he is and what God expects him to do

Tell yourself whatever story you need To sleep at night or to feed Your sense of satisfaction that you're right Are you able to put down you weapon And open your heart to listen Turn off your tongue If it's no offense then The world is mendin It takes time to get to know me Focus on me Just chill with me Walk with me Smoke with me But I refuse to let your story define me If you need to ostracize me Call me crazy for the truth I see I'm finally fine with me Too busy shining Developin' my tools Quickly got up from the lover's bed It's all good My best friend is the forest My wand is a microphone I wont teach you with my loud and wrathful tones I will embody through music All the truth i need to express No more wasting anymore moans silencing them when we have sex I'm not ashamed that i need touch and gifts words of affirmation acts of service quality time rest and resooperation beautiful empathy balnced with the medicine of accountability if this isnt what i see then my love i set you free I set you free I set you free I accept you And I release...
