I was born in the heart of Dublin.
To a holy book full of rules.
Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools.

We were warped by the Christian Brothers.
In the cell blocks at our schools.
Get a handprint on your skin.
From a club of jewels.

Go hit me now, That I'm twice your size
We brushed off the accusations.
And bowed before your lies.

This is the city that raised me.
With the religion they gave me.
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind.
But it was leaving that saved me.
I've seen so much that has changed me.
So just break with your past, feed your own mind.
'Cause this Irish son has moved with the times.

Wedding's deaths,and baptizing children.
That's my debt paid to the church.
I don't need that kind of salvation.
When I get hurt.

Don't fill my head with sermons.
And force me to believe.

This is the city that raised me.
With the religion they gave me.
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind.
But it was leaving that saved me.
I've seen so much that has changed me.
So just break with your past.
Feed your own mind.
'Cause this Irish son has moved with the times.

Our father who art in heaven.
Come down here and make your presence known.
We can't do it on our own.
The lunatics let run the asylum
How can we find peace inside your home.
When you can't trust your own.

This is the city that raised me.
With the religion they gave me.
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind.
But it was leaving that saved me.
I've seen so much that has changed me.
So just break with your past.
Feed your own mind.
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times.
Yes this Irish son has moved with the times.
