[00:41.71]I'm an Irishman
[00:42.80]
[00:43.65]Leather weathered Irish skin
[00:45.62]Beard orange as the sunset over the flag
[00:47.95]In the night sky we fly it in
[00:49.93]Pride for the life we fight to live
[00:51.57]History, I write with it
[00:52.95]Spit it with the dialect
[00:54.63]And this is a celebration of course
[00:57.72]The green, white, orange
[01:00.56]And when they pulled up on that shore
[01:02.40]First generation born
[01:03.96]Toast to those that made it
[01:05.68]on a boat to New York
[01:07.00]And when the English
[01:08.03]came the colonizer came
[01:10.14]They filled up bottles of gasoline,
[01:12.44]turned 'em into balls of flame
[01:14.03]And hurled 'em to protect what's ours
[01:15.56]Don't touch these lucky charms
[01:17.17]Whole bunch of Irish screaming
[01:19.23]"Fuck the London Guard"
[01:21.19]I'm kidding not dissin'
[01:22.41]London, this bloody war
[01:23.68]But go against the Irish
[01:25.35]and get a bloody jaw
[01:27.05]Preaching nonviolence
[01:28.22]but reminds of the scars
[01:29.70]And the bias, put a pint up
[01:31.54]everybody sing a song
[01:39.33]We put our glass to the sky and lift up
[01:42.18]And live tonight
[01:43.37]'cause you can't take it with ya
[01:45.42]So raise a pint for the people
[01:47.25]that aren't with us
[01:48.61]And live tonight
[01:49.46]'cause you can't take it with ya
[01:51.85]We put our glass to the sky and lift up

[02:01.41]And live tonight
[02:02.22]'cause you can't take it with ya
[02:05.12]From New England to New Brunswick
[02:06.54]
[02:07.10]Galway to Dublin
[02:08.38]A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers
[02:11.72]Heart, blue collared workers and family
[02:14.85]My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty
[02:17.60]Now with whiskey in our veins
[02:19.63]Claiming were the bravest men
[02:21.41]I drank Old Crow,
[02:22.75]but pretended it was Jameson
[02:24.56]Dad sipped Guiness,
[02:26.12]I sipped Old English
[02:27.44]'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy,
[02:29.88]this is what a beer is"
[02:31.22]I put down the drink,
[02:32.38]couldn't drink like a gentleman
[02:34.22]That doesn't mean
[02:35.00]I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em
[02:37.32]Challenge us in football,
[02:38.92]yeah we might lose
[02:40.31]But don't put us next to a bar stool
[02:43.18]
[02:44.48]We take the history, script it in song
[02:46.66]Light the torch then you pass it on
[02:49.22]That's right I said,
[02:50.47]lineage through the rhythm
[02:51.86]we script it from the palm
[02:53.17]And we give til' Ireland is on
[02:54.81]
[02:55.40]Bottoms Up
