Heart of a Nation Lyrics by Columbia Mills

Heart of a Nation

2022

[Verse 1]
A mother in a hotel
Raising her kids
She's not on holiday
How did it end up this way?
Sleeping in a Garda station
Watching her kids as they're led away
She calls out to say
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
If you're there for me too
Make sure you look after each other
And take care of your sister and brother
Sleeping in a Garda station
Living at the heart of a first world nation
[Verse 2]
A business man looking for planning permission
He wants to build a hotel and run us out of our homes
He can't do it alone
He gets there with another Irish tradition
A brown envelopе to the man that's on the throne
With a lеtter that he wrote
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
If you're there for me too
We can look after each other
Just like sister and brother
We'll never see a Garda station
Living your life at the heart of a nation
[Bridge]
Fianna Fail and Fianna Gail
Fianna fucking all the same
A sociopath never cries
We hanged ourselves for a lullaby
Fianna Fail and Fianna Gail
Fianna fucking all the same
Fill your pockets while you can
Give yourselves a raise again
[Verse 3]
A daughter in a doorway
Bloodshot eyes and head full of history
A lifetime of misery
She shivers as the methadone subsides
A car pulls up and a voice fills the night
From the passenger side
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
If you're there for me too
We can look after each other
Just like two young lovers
Sleeping in Connolly Station
Living your life at the heart of a nation
[Chorus]
And I'll be there for you
If you're there for me too
We can look after each other
Just like sister and brother
Sleeping in a Garda station
Living at the heart of a first world nation
