I was born in the heart of Dublin To a Holy book full of rules Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools
We were warped by the Christian Brothers In the cell blocks at our schools Get a handprint on your skin Before you break their rules
Go hit me now That I'm twice your size We brushed off the accusations And bowed before your lies
Chorus This is the city that raised me With the religion they gave me Now I'm old enough to know my own mind And it was leaving that saved me I seen so much that has changed me Just break with your past Feed your own mind Cause this Irish son has moved with the times
Weddings deaths or baptizing children That's my debt paid to the church I don't need that kind of salvation When I get hurt
Don't fill my head with sermons And force me to believe
Chorus This is the city that raised me With the religion they gave me Now I'm old enough to know my own mind And it was leaving that saved me I seen so much that has changed me So just break with your past Feed your own mind Cos this Irish son has moved with the times
Our father who art in heaven Come down here and make your presence known We can't do it on our own The lunatics let run the asylum How can we find peace inside your home When you can't trust your own
Chorus This is the city that raised me With the religion they gave me Now I'm old enough to know my own mind But it was leaving that saved me I've seen so much that has changed me So just break with your past Feed your own mind Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times Cos' this Irish son has moved with the timesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
