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