4ft Fingers (four Feet Fingers) Irish Eyes Lyrics

Irish Eyes Lyrics

For one hundred years my land's been town in two

Bigoted people think that they are fighting for you

A coded warning, a distant shooting

I've never seen an army act quite like this

A son without a father, another widow made, playing god

They banded together in 1916

Defending our island from the British regime

The people they loved them for fighting their cause

Where are the heroes now?

But every day we take one step closer to a time in our lives

Where we can't remember hate

Our lives all the time moving where we're not afraid of you.



Innocent children caught up in a war

They've lived with bombing and terror since they were born.

Their cause is replaced by greed

They keep all their guns to help them fight for their drugs

Politicians they tug at the threads of our peace

Till nothing's left but a divided race

Irish eyes aren't smiling anymore
