Lyrics

[Intro] Ireland [Interlude] [Chorus] Ireland's at war with herself Ireland's at war with herself Hopeless that I couldn't help When Ireland's at war with herself [Verse] My heart was strong, but I was wrong To think that I could save her Her head was mixed in politics And I fell out of favor There was no trial No mercy mild And now I am forever exiled [Chorus] Ireland's at war with herself Ireland's at war with herself Hopeless that I couldn't help When Ireland's at war with herself Yeah-eah [Bridge] All the time I spent in Ireland She never gave a hint of discontent We used to run through the fields hand in hand I was her little boy, I was her somewhat bigger man I pledged my loyalty I was her patriot I was her everything that she'd soon forget [Chorus] Ireland's at war with herself Ireland's at war with herself Hopeless 'cause I couldn't help When Ireland's at war with herself
