The Orange and the Green - Dick Nolan

A year from now, we won't be pretty A year from now, we won't be young But we will live among the giants Before the giants learn to run Now we are the blessed Now we are the strong Take my hand, and let me know That it feels good To feel at home We would sail across the ocean (ooh) If cloudy skies should take our friends And we will learn from the giants Before the giants learn from them (ooh) Now we are the blessed Now we are the strong Take my hand, and let me know That it feels good To feel at home Ooh What can I say Without a say? We've got a way to go And what can I do To get back to you And help us to find a home To search the Green and Town A year from now We won't be lovers We'll just be suits and ties and shoes And we will grow without our parents Cause soon we will be giants too (ooh) Now we are the blessed Now we are the strong Take my hand, and let me know That it feels good To feel at home Ooh What can I say Without a say? We've got a way to go And what can I do To get back to you And help us to find a home To search the Green and Town I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you I will search the green And I will search the town But I will never Find a one like you

Standin' on the corner of Stuart and the Avenue Rippin' up my transfer and a photograph of you You're a blur on my dead past and rottin' existence As I stand laughin' on the corner of insignificance Well, destiny is dead In the hands of bad luck Before, it might have made some sense But now it's all fucked up Seasons change as well as minds, and I'm a two faced clown You're Mommy's little nightmare drivin' Daddy's car around I'm beat down and half brain dead, the long lost King of fools I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid enough to stay with you Well, destiny is dead In the hands of bad luck Before, it might have made some sense But now it's all fucked up Well, destiny is dead In the hands of bad luck Before, it might have made some sense But now it's all fucked up We're all fucked up You're all fucked up

Lighting up cigarettes in the seventh grade That's what my mother taught me As she was falling asleep driving down 68 I drove just to get us back safe Wishing hard that I could escape Tripping down all the steps of the local school bus Wishing I didn't have to go home Oven was heating the house if our electric was on I hope dad left money for us 'Cause three days and I haven't had much And I'm tired of being nice I just don't have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life Love mе when you need a high I'm done spending my monеy on you Oh, and if dad was off, then boy, we were gone Just driving 'round listening to tunes 'Cause we had peace of mind if she couldn't find us We're all constantly on the move My whole life I've been running from you And I'm tired of being nice I just don't have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high I'm done spending my money on you Yeah, I'm done now and I'm through with you Mmm, and I'm through with you, yeah Yeah, and I'm tired of being nice I just don't have it inside me I can't take much more shit from you And I have cut you out of my life You love me when you need a high I'm done spending my money on you 'Cause I'm through with you And I'm through with you
