[Intro]
Ireland
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Ireland's at war with herself
Ireland's at war with herself
Hopeless that I couldn't help
When Ireland's at war with herself
[Verse]
My heart was strong, but I was wrong
To think that I could save her
Her head was mixed in politics
And I fell out of favor
There was no trial
No mercy mild
And now I am forever exiled
[Chorus]
Ireland's at war with herself
Ireland's at war with herself
Hopeless that I couldn't help
When Ireland's at war with herself
Yeah-eah
[Bridge]
All the time I spent in Ireland
She never gave a hint of discontent
We used to run through the fields hand in hand
I was her little boy, I was her somewhat bigger man
I pledged my loyalty
I was her patriot
I was her everything that she'd soon forget
[Chorus]
Ireland's at war with herself
Ireland's at war with herself
Hopeless 'cause I couldn't help
When Ireland's at war with herself
