lyrics: mist of the irish sky – door to door


cd: Mist of the Irish Sky

track 13: Door to Door


When I think about it
I become enraged
Students in the classroom
Trying to engage
You can hear them coming
From a half a mile away
Hatred in the distance
The young ones shouldn’t pay
They shoot out the school house windows
Get the children on the floor
And now the bastard black and tans
Are out marauding door to door
The bastard black and tans
Are out marauding
Marauding door to door

They’re hardened and they’re bitter
From the European fight
Reign in those dirty Irish
Feel free to use your might
Declaring their intentions
Through the barrel of a gun
We have no right to freedom
We have the right to run
God damn their royal arrogance
As they treat us like their whore
And now the bastard black and tans
Are out marauding door to door
The bastard black and tans
Are out marauding
Marauding door to door

I bottle my resentment
Until I’m ready to explode
They’re the ugly face of England
Comin’ down our Irish roads
This latest vile atrocity
They force us to endure
Has terrified our families
Of this they can be sure
I hold them all responsible
And I hate them all the more
The bastard black and tans
Are out marauding door to door
The bastard black and tans
Are out marauding
Marauding door to door
