Compensation
Compensation November 24, 2020
They came to our land, plundered and pillaged
Banned our religion, killed our people
Brought foreign laws tried, to change our nation
Time for payback, it's called compensation
Our leaders were killed by the gun and the noose
They stole our land the planters dream
Our rebels shot replaced by the queen
Future leaders taken and shot
We remember them all, Ireland's loss
All through the years, we watched them die
Mother Ireland sadly watched her cry
Nineteen sixteen to Eighty-one
Patrick Pearse another Irish son
The death squads and collusion they caused it all
The people's resistance stood proud ad tall
Payback is here we want compensation
How do you replace the death of our nation
How much does it cost for the life's that were lost
Destruction and death, our country destroyed
Compensation is due and we're looking at you
Mother England must pay, let's start today
Invading our country, killing our people
In the name of God with your church and Steeple
Compensation now for the Irish people
They came to our land plundered and pillaged
Banned our religion, killed our people
