Carnival

Lyrics

Mo Chara, you stand before us in Westminster Magistrate's Court Charged under the Terrorism Act of 2000 How do you plead? Neamhchiontach [Véarsa 1: Mo Chara] Maidin mhaith, your honour An innocent bystander Os comhair na cúirte Níl mé buartha They can try slander M'ainm of high standards Ní mise an chéad Éireannach sa seomra seo a bhí on trialOn trumped up lies and charges This started ag CoachellaNá labhair faoin Phailaistín fellaSampla eile déantaThis happens if a band tries to tell ya faoi Gaza These lads are just nasty Sentence them go gasta Paddy terrorist bastards Free Mo Chara, free, free Mo Chara [Curfá: Mo Chara] There's a carnival coming to a town near you Kneecap vs thе Crown, so come here, you! Stеp up! And view their new attraction, circus of distractions [Véarsa 2: Móglaí Bap] Móglaí Bap, please take the stand Your honour, I'll lay out exactly what has happened An rud ceanann céanna a tharla le Gerry Conlon Is cé raibh go raibh se difirúil, they've got something in common Is Éireannaigh iad ar fad, getting done for doing nothing Anois éist gan aon cheist, this whole thing is a mess Ag iarraidh locht a fháil ar dhaoine for speaking with their chest Investigate the people join armies far and wide Instead of the People who oppose a fuckin' genocide Free Mo Chara, free, free Mo Chara [Curfá: Mo Chara] There's a carnival coming to a town near you Kneecap vs the Crown, so come here, you! Step up! And view their new attraction, circus of distractions Away from their actions is where they will steer you Free Mo Chara, free, free Mo Chara [Véarsa 3: Móglaí Bap] Rud amháin nach raibh páirteach i do moot D'aimsigh siad winky agus gunnaí ina bhút Agus dar leis an chúirt nior admhaigh siad aon bhuairt Murach sceimhlitheoir eisean What's the point of any confession? That's double standards of the highest degree I think it has something to do with the subjects we speak It might be the Fenian in me, but I think it's quite clear to see The Brits are at it again Repeatin' history [Véarsa 4: Mo Chara] Gach lá sa nuacht ach ní mise nó Kneecap an scéal Tá cinedhíothú ag tarlú, mar gheall ar Diabhal Israel Sábhailteacht, cúram, gan fáil ná bác le mo thuairim Cunts lofa suaracha eile gur chóir a bheidh in sa chúirt seo Seachas mise Distraction is the mission International law is gone out the window Fuckin' listen! All this killing, you're complicit History will remember you pieces of shit and you'll never be forgiven Free Mo Chara, free, free Mo Chara [Curfá: Mo Chara] There's a carnival coming to a town near you Kneecap vs the Crown, so come here, you! Step up! And view their new attraction, circus of distractions Away from their actions is where they will steer you Carnival coming to a town near you Kneecap vs the Crown, so come here, you! Step up! And view their new attraction, circus of distractions Away from their actions is where they will steer you [Deireadh] Now let me just remind you, the other breaking news we're following this hour The terrorism case against the rapper from the band Kneecap, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, has been thrown out of court
