Too Close To Home Lyrics
Years of studying history at my school
Finding out how this world of ours came to be
Alliances - pacts - distortion of facts
Chunks of the glove forgotten - conveniently?
Valuable lessons gained through study
But one major issue was evading me
And whilst we were shown how inhuman the Nazis were
A similar thing was happening across the Irish Sea
To close to home - just too close
To close to home - too near the bone
As Britain's treatment of Ireland
Becomes more know to me
Can I still believe the IRA are mere terrorists?
In the face of social, economic and military repression
That must be answered with equal aggression
In a constant war for freedom many lives are lost
But still Britain stays whatever the cost
Because "the borders not an issue"
They can't afford to lose
Just cloud it all in mystery - divide and confuse
Divide - confuse
Divide - confuse - lose
Ireland - the issue that should be left alone?
Too ear the bone and too close to home
Lessons learnt from and about the empire days
Just changing faces with the same power hungry ways
You really make me sick
Fucking liars, hypocrites
Used every dirty trick
You really make me sick
Finding out how this world of ours came to be
Alliances - pacts - distortion of facts
Chunks of the glove forgotten - conveniently?
Valuable lessons gained through study
But one major issue was evading me
And whilst we were shown how inhuman the Nazis were
A similar thing was happening across the Irish Sea
To close to home - just too close
To close to home - too near the bone
As Britain's treatment of Ireland
Becomes more know to me
Can I still believe the IRA are mere terrorists?
In the face of social, economic and military repression
That must be answered with equal aggression
In a constant war for freedom many lives are lost
But still Britain stays whatever the cost
Because "the borders not an issue"
They can't afford to lose
Just cloud it all in mystery - divide and confuse
Divide - confuse
Divide - confuse - lose
Ireland - the issue that should be left alone?
Too ear the bone and too close to home
Lessons learnt from and about the empire days
Just changing faces with the same power hungry ways
You really make me sick
Fucking liars, hypocrites
Used every dirty trick
You really make me sick
