Last time I checked
The bills just went up
And all my friends
Are in the pub getting messed up
Last time I checked
Everything was getting more expensive
And all my friends
Are out getting higher than the rent is
And I know that times are hard
We can make it if we try
While they build their house of cards
We're all just trynna get by
And we've all lost friends
To better lands
I hope you're doing better, man
There's nothing good back here
Except the people that you love
We need to put this country
In some better hands
Who don't care about the envelopes and rubber bands
We just want to see some change
Oh, oh, oh
Life's hard in the city
And it's hard in the country
Oh oh oh
I wanna love where I'm from
But it doesn't seem to love me
Oh oh oh
Life's hard in the streets
And it's hard on the back roads
Oh oh oh
I wanna come back home
But it wouldn't take me back though
It's funny how in the capital of the republic
The public don't have much capital
and a few sitting in the Dáil
Seem to have it all
Talk about that, you're a radical
I just wanna seem some problems solved
See some care for a common cause
But there's no common cause
When they say the problems
Are caused by the commons
Say you're lazy when their wages
Are paid by robbing
Families facing eviction, sickening
They keep the money at the top
And then claim down that it's trickling
But it's all theory and fiction
The only thing trickling down
Is tears on cheeks
As faces go pale and knees go weak
As prices rise each week
For the profits they seek
They give the middle finger
To the people's well-being, yeah
Tax every class but the top percent
And the corporations that they defend, yeah
It's just 12.5, man
They could use that money
To keep people alive, man.
Another pay rise scam
Another high rise plan
More bottles, more cries
We need to put this country
In some better hands
Who don't care about the envelopes and rubber bands
We just want to see some change.
Oh, oh, oh
Life's hard in the city
And it's hard in the country
Oh oh oh
I wanna love where I'm from
But it doesn't seem to love me
Oh oh oh
Life's hard in the streets
And it's hard on the back roads
Oh oh oh
I wanna come back home
But
We just wanna seem some change
But time goes by
And we realise
That change never came
So we cry
As our hope it dies
We just wanna seem some change
But time goes by
And we realise
That change never came
So we cry
As our hope it dies
Oh, oh, oh
Life's hard in the city
And it's hard in the country
Oh oh oh
I wanna love where I'm from
But it doesn't seem to love me
Oh oh oh
Life's hard in the streets
And it's hard on the back roads
Oh oh oh
I wanna come back home
But it wouldn't take me back though
Oh, oh, oh
Life's hard in the city
And it's hard in the country
Oh oh oh
I wanna love where I'm from
But it doesn't seem to love me
Oh oh oh
Life's hard in the streets
And it's hard on the back roads
Oh oh oh
I wanna come back home
But it wouldn't take me back though
