Mountjoy lyrics

The joy brings many things

It cannot bring you joy

Sons of mothers huddle here

Men and boys

1850 swung the doors

And human sewage swept inside

Where victims speak in whines

And where the hardened cried

I was sent here by a 3 foot half-wit in a wig

I took his insults on the chin, and never did I flinch

A swagger hides the fear in here

By this rule we breathe

And there is no one on this earth

Who I’d feel sad to leave

You see we all lose

We all lose

What those in power do to you

Reminds us at a glance

How humans hate each others guts

And show it given a chance

We never say aloud the things

That we say in our prayers

Cause no one cares

Many executed here

By the awful lawfully good

But the only thing that makes me cry

Is when I see the sky

Brendan Behan's laughter rings

For what he had or hadn’t done

For he knew then as I know now

That for each and every one of us

We all lose

Rich or poor, we all lose

Rich or poor, they all lose
