пролетарский и тред-юнионистский фолк-рок из Ирландии : Emer Fox - 'The tellin of our day'
Фолк-баллада в честь ирландских рабочих, их профсоюзов и манифестаций весны 2014 года против политики жесткой экономии. Стихи написаны так, будто с того света Юэн Макколл, Фил Окс и Вуди Гатри надиктовывали.
New Irish ballad Emer Fox - 'The tellin of our day'
They've all ganged up to help us
Oh, they're gonna save the day
They're gonna make things better, so they say.
But they borrow and they steal
And leave us bound on our knees
Yet they're gonna make things better, so they say.
Chorus
No more we cry
We won't be sacrificed
Forced to pay the price for those who squander
Our heritage in chains
No more we cry
As others gone before us
We'll face them down in chorus when we say
They can't lock us all away
Time will be the tellin of the crossroads we are facing
Time will be the tellin of our day.
Their game was for the wealthy
but we never got to play
And they're gonna make us debtors anyway
Though promises were made
in their laws we bear the pain
And they're gonna make us suffer anyway.
Chorus
So who's to fight the vultures
when they're gathered for their prey
No mercy in their deeds for all they say
They'll pick away and feed
And leave their bones to decay
Are we gonna let them take it all away
Chorus
Only time will tell when the wicked have all gone to hell
And time will be the tellin of our day
Chorus
Time will be the tellin of the crossroads we are facin
Time will be the tellin of our day
