1850 swung the doors  
And human sewage swept inside

Where victims speak in whines

And where the hardened cried
and where the hardened cried


I was sent here by a 3 foot half-wit in a wig
I was sent here by a

A swagger hides the fear in here
A swagger hides the fear in here  
By this rule we breathe
by this rule we breathe  
And there is no one on this earth  
and there is no one upon this earth  
Who I’d feel sad to leave
whom I’d feel sad to leave


You see we all lose

Reminds us at a glance

How humans hate each others’s guts
how humans hate each others guts  
And show it given a chance

Cause no one cares

But the only thing that makes me cry

Lyrics

The Joy brings many things
it cannot bring you joy
sons of mothers huddle here
man and boy

1850 swung the doors
and human sewage swept inside
where victims speak in whines
and where the hardened cried

I was sent here by a
three-foot half-wit in a wig
I took his insults on the chin
and never did I flinch

A swagger hides the fear in here
by this rule we breathe
and there is no one upon this earth
whom I’d feel sad to leave

You see
we all lose
we all lose

What those in power do to you
reminds us at a glance
how humans hate each others guts
and show it given the chance

We never say aloud the things
that we say in our prayers
'cos no one cares

Many executed here
by the awful lawfully good
but the only thing that makes me cry
is when I see the sky

Brendan Behan's laughter rings
for what he had or hadn’t done
for he knew then
as I know now
that for each and every one of us
we all lose
rich or poor
we all lose
rich or poor
we all lose.
