someone's infected by the pain
Guns, drugs and violence,
they all do much the same
It's like a viral infection,
Travelling all over the town
So open your eyes, take a look around
I find it hard to read the paper
Grandparents don't understand
Shots get fired on another
Parents weep in the tears they drown,
Young Paddy's lowered into
I stand aluminous and clueless
Disorganised and unequipped
Ill -prepared with no leadership
Right to the scene as the
standing there like fools
But that's half the problem
Because they are victims too
Our people can't comprehend
Is it reassurance or self -assurance?
What choices do we have today?
Ain't the people in power
to see what they have done?
With the marginalisation caused
prevention is better than cure
Well, it don't be cascades
You get the snow all the way
All the knife gets pulled
the young bodies come out and go to
Devil makes work for idle hands
Like you barely watch as it burns
And as the virus gets closer
You've heard it's your name
And you're feeling like a mist
So you rinse and blurt in
Bul let whiz through the night pipe
Oh my child, I'm home tonight
and the bairnets weep till
till the tears they drown
