Brian Mcfadden Irish Son Lyrics

Irish Son Lyrics

I was born in the heart of Dublin 

To a holy book full of rules 

Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools 



We were warped by the Christian Brothers 

In the cell blocks at our schools 

Get a handprint on your skin 

From a claw of Jewels 



Go hit me now 

That I'm twice your size 

We brushed off the accusations 

And bowed before your lies 



This is the city that raised me 

With the religion they gave me 

Now I'm old enough to know my own mind 

But it was leaving that saved me* 

I've seen so much that has changed me* 

Just break with your past 

Feed your own mind 

Cause' this Irish son has moved with the times * 



Weddings deaths and baptizing children 

That's my debt paid to the church 

I don't ned that kind of salvation 

When I get hurt 



Don't fill my head with sermons 

And force me to believe 



This is the city that raised me 

With the religion they gave me 

Now I'm old enough to know my own mind 

But it was leaving that saved me* 

I've seen so much that has changed me* 

So, just break with your past * 

Feed your own mind 

Cause' this Irish son has moved with the times * 



Our father who art in heaven 

Come down here and make your 

presence known 

We can't do it on our own 

The lunatics let run the asylum 

How can we find peace inside your home 

When you can't trust your own 



This is the city that raised me 

With the religion they gave me 

Now I'm old enough to know my own mind 

But it was leaving that saved me* 

I've seen so much that has changed me* 

Just break with your past 

Feed your own mind 

Cause' this Irish son has moved with the times * 

Yes, this Irish son has moved with the times*
