Nothing, NOTHING can top this political song. Please, please take your time (three minutes) and listen to this tune with the lyrics below. You will get a master class on political songwriting.
Ruefrex "Wild Colonial Boy"
A song by the Irish band Ruefrex that savages the Americans who supported the Irish IRA (terrorists).
Sure Irish Americans want to help the Irish overseas...but the band correctly points out that Irish Americans in their own country were "trying hard, to keep the niggers down" Pretty strong line...but accurate.
And the last line of the song is as powerful as it gets.
Well I'm the Emerald Isle's own son,
I was born on stateside, Wisconsin.
And your troubles sound like Hollywood,
they sound real good to me.
The rush to be Irish now is on,
the queue is standing ten miles long,
and would-be green men stand in line,
to swap their stories tall.
Well I have traced my past right back,
I've even checked and double checked,
and I'm as sure as ever now that I'm a leprechaun.
And I know that if I get my chance,
that I can jig, and reel, and dance.
(Because in between the killing that's what all us Irish do.)
AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR;
"Eat up all your TV dinner,
open up your wallet wide,
and let your green be seen."
A people cannot live that way,
or so the songs and leaflets say,
and all this time we're trying hard,
to keep the niggers down.
What with collection time and all,
with charities, functions and balls,
It really gives me quite a thrill,
to kill from far away."
