lyrics
I don’t wanna leave, but I gotta do what’s right.
I gotta find away to support my kids and wife.
A skip across the pond and I land in New York Bay.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
Up off the boat and onto the dock,
I’m marching into war, it’s a race against the clock
I’m praying to the rosary to get me throught the day.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
Walking down the street with my head held high,
Until I saw the sign that said, “No Irish Need Apply”.
It’s hard then I thought, it’s tougher than they say.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
I came to America, the land of the free
To find a better life and support my family.
But all I found was misery, blue skies have turned to gray.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
America, where have you been.
You’ll pay for all their sins.
So far, we’ve weathered the attack.
Now it’s time to take your country…
Back, back (whoa oh)
Back, back, back (whoa-ay oh)
Back, back, back (whoa oh)
Now it’s time to take your country back
Four years of college and an engineer degree,
I went to school so I’d have opportunity.
But now I work at Kelly’s Pub and I’m still waiting for a raise.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
But I don’t blame the foreigners for trying to survive.
They’re just like our ancestors who struggled to get by.
I blame the greedy bastards, robber barons of today.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
America, where have you been.
You’ll pay for all their sins.
So far, we’ve weathered the attack.
Now it’s time to take your country…
Back, back (whoa oh)
Back, back, back (whoa-ay oh)
Back, back, back (whoa oh)
Now it’s time to take your country back
Republicans and Democrats, you both have got it wrong.
It takes much more than politics to sing your freedom song.
Business as usual will lead us to our graves.
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
Building up the wall but not protecting main street
Is like “cuttin’ one’s throat to cure a nosebleed.”
As the sun comes up, I see the ghost of Jesse James
By the grace of God, I’ll find another way.
America, where have you been.
You’ll pay for all their sins.
So far, we’ve weathered the attack.
Now it’s time to take your country…
Back, back (whoa oh)
Back, back, back (whoa-ay oh)
Back, back, back (whoa oh)
Now it’s time to take your country back
