《Sad Affair》歌词

[00:00:00] Sad Affair - Marxman

[00:00:01] Written by：Hollis Byrne/Stephen Daley/Oisin Lunny

[00:00:20] Once upon a time there was

[00:00:23] Irish ways and Irish laws

[00:00:26] Villages of Irish blood

[00:00:28] Waking to the morning good

[00:00:31] But England and her soldiers came

[00:00:33] Started centuries of shame

[00:00:36] Raped our women stole our grain

[00:00:38] Called this land a different name

[00:00:41] Killed their leaders killed their young

[00:00:43] Put to the sword the gun or hung

[00:00:46] History taught this to me

[00:00:49] But what ya learn is a travesty

[00:00:51] I'm saying no slaying is playing it right

[00:00:54] And death is the legacy of the fight

[00:00:56] But I fight for peace against injustice

[00:00:59] The time has come to discuss

[00:01:01] This sad affair

[00:01:02] How long will it be

[00:01:07] How long will it be

[00:01:12] How long will it be

[00:01:18] Such a sad affair

[00:01:22] I had a dream of days to come

[00:01:24] When orange only meant the summer sun

[00:01:27] And not this knife that cuts apart

[00:01:30] A nation's soul a nation's heart

[00:01:32] A thousand tears my mother shed

[00:01:35] Sons and daughters have died and bled

[00:01:37] I cannot forget their brave example

[00:01:40] Thank you all for whom I trample

[00:01:43] People have been mistreat for too long

[00:01:46] How long to sing this sad song

[00:01:48] Connolly said that we shall rise again

[00:01:50] And surely one day the pain must end

[00:01:53] Some say that's a bridge too far

[00:01:55] Some they say tiocfaidh ár lá

[00:01:58] Some pretend the problems don't exist

[00:02:00] Some attack and some resist

[00:02:03] It's a sad affair

[00:02:04] How long will it be

[00:02:09] How long will it be

[00:02:14] How long will it be

[00:02:19] Such a sad affair

[00:02:34] Some say one day our day will come

[00:02:36] The race is run we know the outcome

[00:02:39] The tide is on the side of the green

[00:02:41] The butchers apron no longer seen

[00:02:44] But all I know is that peace must win

[00:02:46] And I thought this was Ireland not Britain

[00:02:49] A six country state is a bastard state

[00:02:52] So why oh why can't we all integrate

[00:02:54] Cause my people suffer great injustice daily

[00:02:57] Condemned by racism in the Bailey

[00:02:59] The Guildford Four Maguires and the Six

[00:03:02] Innocent but guilty of being Micks

[00:03:05] And my culture is as strong as a pyramid

[00:03:07] And you will pay for these things you did

[00:03:10] Not just to we but to the African

[00:03:12] The Asian and the true American

[00:03:15] And tomorrow the sorrow will continue

[00:03:17] And the hatred will fester in the sinews

[00:03:20] I feel like a stranger in the land where I was born

[00:03:23] I just have to wait for a new dawn

[00:03:25] It's a sad affair

[00:03:26] How long will it be

[00:03:31] How long will it be

[00:03:36] How long will it be

[00:03:41] Such a sad affair
