I Live in a Country (feat. Pauline Scanlon)
Karan Casey
I am the tongue, I am her tongue
I have one smooth tongue and I have one rough tongue
I am here and I am listening
I am the small roundy ear that has heard it all
Oh, oh
We are the daughters of the witches
You could not burn for centuries
We are the daughters of the Magdalene laundries
When you had us down upon our knees
We are the daughters of the mother and baby homes
Where you did what you pleased
I live in a country where I long to be free
I live in a country where I want to be me
I live in a country where we want to be free
I live in a country where I want to be me
I believe her, I believe her
I am tired of being patient and kind and reserve the right to lose my mind
Tired of being patient and wise whilst viewing my demise
Some days I want revenge but most I fight for equality
Ireland is an empire of misogyny, fuck the patriarchy
I am stone, I am sea, I am wind, I am river
I am rock I'm the salt in the sea
I am the gorse and aitinn, blazing away back at you
As brazen as you like
Oh
I live in a country where I long to be free
I live in a country where I want to be me
I live in a country where we want to be free
I live in a country where I want to be me
Fuck the patriarchy
