Connolly's Message 2010 Lyrics

By Seadog / Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down. Folk song. Its sung by another of our loose group Seadog, Keith Adams, but uploaded as "Na Daoine" just for the sake of a reference name . [ The more famous song about James Connolly ] Its not done for enjoyment more so to let off pent up frustration at the systematic destruction of our Country and People, by those who were entrusted with a deed of care. Sometimes when you cant do much its the least things that can have effect and venting anger in a song is one way. This song is posted on the day The I.M.F. comes to Ireland to sort out our financial mess.

They're starving families in the name of Ireland
We've been down that sorry road before
They’ve  hung around much longer than they should have
And it's too late to fool us anymore


We've seen the ones who killed us with their vision
As they plundered Ireland right before our eyes
Today they hold the power and the money in their hands
It's getting hard to listen to their lies.

Chorus:
And I've just got to wonder what  Connolly would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
All we have to guide us is the  message he passed down,
Fight for your rights And stand your ground
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN

 50 billion euro is the price that we have to  pay
So they can still play golf with all their friends
While hospital s are closing down and families are destroyed 
You have to wonder where the fuck it went

Chorus:
And I've just got to wonder what  Connolly would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
All we have to guide us is the  message he passed down,
Fight for your rights And stand your ground
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN
 

Chorus:
And I've just got to wonder what James Connolly would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
All we have to guide us is the  message he passed down,
fight for your rights And stand your ground
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN
DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN
 DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN
