Irish Son Lyrics
Artist(Band):Brian McFadden
I was born in the heart of Dublin
To a holy book full of rules
Made get on our knees every Sunday
With the other fools
We were warped by the Christian Brothers
In the cell blocks at our schools
Get a handprint on your skin
From a glove of jewels
Go hit me now
That I'm twice your size
We brushed off the accusations
And bowed before your lies
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
'Cause this Irish son has moved with the times
Weddings, deaths, and baptizing children
That's my debt paid to the church
I don't need that kind of salvation
When I get hurt
Don't fill my head with sermons
And force me to believe
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
'Cause this Irish son has moved with the times
Our father who art in heaven
Come down here and make your presence known
We can't do it on our own
The lunatics let run the asylum
How can we find peace inside your home
When you can't trust your own
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
Yes this Irish son has moved with the times

i like the song but i dont agree by the words in it i am a christain myself and i live in ireland (wll northern irealnd) no 1 forces u to believe in Gods word they just want you to come to the Lord because they care they want to be with you in heaven and for Gods word to be loved and respected. Being put into a christain school wheer people try and mkeyou saved it can be hard but being set free from it and you are better of leaving it, that isnt true. sorry if no 1 agrees with me but being a christan i want to stand up for my beliefs
Song was written by ENGLISH Songwriter Guy Chumbers | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/6/2008
I love the song, cause It reminds me Georgia (Caucasus) - we have exactly the same "probs" in Georgia (we are very special cause every nation around us is Muslim , even North Caucasus people) but for some reason the most famous ATHEIST of my nation was Joseph Stalin - he went to Priest School (Seminari) and became the most famous Atheist Terorist ever.

I Love This Song=D
Being A Christian Myself It Makes Me Look At It In A Different Prespective Than I Have Before.
There IS A Heaven And There Is A Hell, And Although These Preists You Talk About Done Wrong And You Write That They Will Be The First In Hell, If They Ask Their God Almighty For Forgiveness He Will Grant It And They Will Spend Eternity With Him In Heaven.
Just My Veiws On It All.
God Bless

Reality Bites | Reviewer: Hossein | 3/6/2008
This is a song that I can really identify with , this magnificant song emits an evil truth that is deplorable in every country;the truth that can be exemplified even in Iran in my country where powers-that-be exploit our religion for personal gains. THis song is a means of catharsis for me it is uplifting, timeless and otherwordly.
Rings true | Reviewer: Vicious | 12/8/2007
McFadden is so right about the culture in many parts of the world, and it's not just Ireland. Priests preach a bunch of nonsense and try to force you believe things that can't possibly be true.
If there is a hell, some of the first people there will be the priests that abused their authority to molest young children.
Its all about him | Reviewer: Harsh | 10/20/2007
I just love Brian's songs.. but this one is the best number of his! It really touches me deep in the heart!
It's Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/5/2007
The song lyrics are so meaningful, it definately sounds like he's been there or knows all about it. This song is just absolutely amazing. Brian McFadden is such a great singer.

it touches me cause i am irish and it tell the whole world the truth
This is reality.. | Reviewer: Mereoni Nacola | 5/29/2007
After readig Bryan's lyrics on 'Irish Sons', it makes me feel that what he has written is actually a reality. i mean, i've read many articles where children were physically abused by their teachers, parents, and supprisingly- priests. well, i thought that priests were suppose to encourage children and be able to inspire them to do good things- not exploit or hurt them! i believe that for those priests who used to spank and use ohter forms of physicall abuse on children, were only taking advantage of the authority they had coz they know that they people would never question them on their deeds. 'Irish Sons' is an eye opener as and i salute bryan for his wonderful pice of literature.
