lyrics

Tom Joad is risen from his bed
he says, You people venerate your dead
over the breath and blood of those who sweat to earn
their daily bread, and prate about a nation once again
again, dead generations
over them unborn
and he said, Them that you did not elect
put a new world order in effect
from Calvary Hill to the Diocese of Ferns,
Burn Hibernia burn
He said them druids came, them druids left
then Rome, the Crown, the IMF,
'til every hand of Mammon took its turn
but when the coloniser’s been and gone
the slave always enslaves his own
and someone makes a killing on the farm
Burn Hibernia burn
But you who buy and sell all human dreams
I'll take an axe to your machine
in scripture it is writ that the worm will turn
and a day will come when wretched men
get their heads from between their knees again
and beat their drums and sound that battle horn
the tide'll rise like a leviathan
there’ll be lootin’, there'll be riotin’
the poles will flip, the seas will surely churn
and come judgment day in every street
you’ll heed this jihad on repeat
every frequency you scan or dial you turn
Burn, Hibernia –
burn boys burn, if you’re of Mammon born you’ll burn
and no firewall will keep you safe from harm
burn boys burn, you’ll wish the day that you were born
Your mothers dashed your brains upon the stones
Flame on
