lyrics

Cromwell's whips
And coffin ships
Tied up and kicked about
Excise men
And hats of tin
We've seen it all, no doubt
Sugar cane not sweet, but pain
Exiled from our land
Crushed beneath
The Empire's feet
But we built it with our hands

Chorus:
You'll find us in the railyards
You'll find us in the pubs
You've seen us oh so gentle
But we fight without the gloves
Some are bound for heaven
Others on the road to hell
But we've always done it all with pride
We're the Children of the Gael

They shipped us
A million plus
Across the Western Sea
Just five years
Of pain and tears
They told us we were free
When ashore
They gave us war
But wouldn't give us jobs
Our dignity, integrity and pride they tried to rob

Chorus:
You'll find us in the railyards
You'll find us in the pubs
You've seen us oh so gentle
But we fight without the gloves
Some are bound for heaven
Me, I'm on the road to hell
But we've always done it all with pride
We're the Children of the Gael

about

Benny No-Good Indianapolis, Indiana

Frontman for Indiana-based hardcore punk band The Enders, I needed an outlet for songs that don't lend themselves to screaming and high-gain musical assault. That's where we find ourselves here.
