My Friend has no job

lyrics

The youth are leaving once again,
And it's true the nation's lost it's way and then,
Can you bear to listen to those in disgrace,
Say they're educated but they have no place

Times are ever changing and we are re-arranging
Our current situation is built on hesitation
No politicians consult could save us from this insult
We're trying to start over, let's move a little slower

Once more, it's too much more to ask for,
Taking our chances on foreign beaches

Searching for, we're searching for clarity in our own way
Nomadic lives, we multiply, synthesize, sympathize away
Gluttonous years, financial fears, we appear to all pretend
Shielding our eyes while they devised, ostricized to our own end

Monopolize the thoughts of men
Who in power sowed the seeds to our own end
I can't help but feel a little under threat
When I'm told to up and leave with every breath.

Once more, it's too much more to ask for,
Taking our chances on foreign beaches

Times are ever changing and we are re-arranging
Our current situation is built on hesitation
No politicians consult could save us from this insult
We're trying to start over, let's move a little slower

This landmass can't confine us
We can go everywhere
And yet this place defines us
We can't go anywhere
My thoughts return to you and
My heart beats in my chest
My thoughts return to you and
I fall at your behest.

And So I Watch You From Afar
by And So I Watch You From Afar

ASIWYFA have released 3 brilliant and equally distinctive albums (and an EP), but this first album is a perfect place to start. Great live band as well, if you haven't heard them yet, get this album. Former Monarchs

Friendship
by The Redneck Manifesto

One of the best bands to come out of Ireland, this is The Redneck Manifesto's last album (to date) and it is bloody brilliant. They don't put a foot wrong. Former Monarchs
