There's a foe living among us masquerading as a friend 
When you stare into the flashlights you must look to comprehend 
For they want to keep you docile, hence the boot upon your head 
Then they put you in a chokehold, keep you down until your dead
This is mass discrimination on every colour every creed 
For to them you're just a number both the cattle and the feed 
It may be sunny in the country but the sun can come and go
Collective anger in the stomach, there's still a hunger in the soul
Sentimental Dole
Where is the trust in the truth of equality oh 
Wrapped in a flag and then sold as democracy 
Constant hypocrisy, draw the poison from the wound 
Reversing the blame, no longer a pleb to be played 
Like a pawn in their game
 
There are many banners blowing, being carried by the mob 
Tears forever flowing through the concrete and the sod
And the news provide the static, as reports come flooding in 
About the riots of confusion between the women and the men 
Loneliness the silent killer
Takes and never gives you back
For it steals and cant stop stealing, a twisted kleptomaniac 
Rid yourself of their agenda, wash your spirit with some hope 
See the mad collaborations like De Valera and the Pope
 
Sentimental Dole
Where is the trust in the truth of equality oh 
Wrapped in a flag and then sold as democracy 
Constant hypocrisy, draw the poison from the wound 
Reversing the blame, no longer a pleb to be played

Like a pawn in their game 
No longer a pleb to be played
Like a pawn in their game.
