Irish in America. I don't know, we don't seem that in touch with our home country, or if we are we are assholes about it. We act like insane people who don't really understand what we're talking about. Or maybe thats just what I was like when I was 12, but either way whatever.

"Because if you sing the national anthem, you'll be accused of bigiotry its noting but the same old story for the 21st century."

Peter J. O'Connor

Great song - the comment about the National Anthem really resonates.

Technically, there is a half paddy in the white house.

Great song - was working over in London recently - we don't own the sites anymore but there all still there navvying away - Connie's speaking the Irish among themselves and as still as fucking wild as the rocks of Connaught, boys from Glasgow with Da's and Granda's from Donegal, Cork boys being arrogant as fuck(!), Northern boys being serious, sound as sophisticated! and the odd spivy painter/decorator from inner city Dubin that all the other nationalities think is from Liverpool with his accent

Such a fantastic and accurate song. My own family left County Fermanagh in the 1890`s for Glasgow to find employment and around 100 years later I left Glasgow for the same reason. This song brings a tear to my eye.
