Gombeen

A gombeen man is a pejorative Hiberno-English term used in Ireland for a shady, small-time "wheeler-dealer" businessman or politician who is always looking to make a quick profit, often at someone else's expense or through the acceptance of bribes. Its origin is the Irish word "gaimbín", meaning monetary interest. The term referred originally to a money-lender and became associated with those shopkeepers and merchants who exploited the starving during the Irish Famine by selling much-needed food and goods on credit at ruinous interest rates. more »

Take me too the mountain
Show me far and wide I spent my life
Believing the lies
The sht is overwhelming

Lead my through the willow
Through the other side
Take me back to my tribe
Believing the wise
But I never thought you'd do it with out me

I thought we fought the war
800 years maybe more
Rewriting history
Resetting time
Can't you see

A leader, a leader
We haven't got a leader
Eire, Eire
We gotta, to go

Went to school, got the job, tried me best now pay

I close my eyes, realise, it's overwhelming

Save me from the river
It's at the back of your mind
Did you think of your child
Your own child
Cause he's never gonna do it without me.
