Letra de Irish Son (Short Version)
I was born in the heart of Dublin To a holy book full of rules Made it go on our knees every Sunday with the other foolsWe were walked by the Christian Brothers In the cell blocks at our schools Get a handprint on your skin From a claw of jewelsGo hit me now That I'm twice your size We brushed off the accusations And bowed before your liesThis 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 timesWeddings deaths, and baptising children That's my debt paid to the church I don't need that kind of salvation When I get hurtDon't fill my head with sermons And force me to believeThis 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 timesOur father who art in heaven Come down here and make your presence known We can't do it on our own The lunatics have run the asylum How can we find peace inside your home When you can't trust your ownThis 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 Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times Yes this Irish son has moved with the times
