Mael Vogue - Children of Ulster (feat. Megan Sylvan)

Here, I'm a white male aged 18-40
And as such, I got some advice for ye
And as such, you can't really ignore me
Coz the world that we inhabit was all created for me
The story you've been told is that certain things matter
Ignore me all you want I'll make your earth view shatter
These home truths, I kick to the youth
It's self evident, I'm sorry, Ruth
But the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is sweet
And the roof is not for shooting any more at the street
And the beat that I'm composing, it's not imposing
Its will on anybody like a thing that wasn't chosen
That's how it works and I hate to be the one to break it
Them's the breaks and ten mistakes one right it doesn't make it
We mix it all into a cake and then I bake it
But if one ingredient is really bitter no one takes it
Coz I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I kick it to the
See it on the news outsiders looking in
Gettin on like we're on different sides like in Berlin
A Peace Line a fine visual metaphor
But there's another story and I wish you would tell it more
We live together, eat together, play together
Have kids together, sleep together, roll in the hay together
Drink together, sing together, all among the blooming heather
Waffle on in ignorance while acting like you're clever
That's if we ever do a thing that's mentioned on the news
You only pay attention if the thing's affecting youse
It's oozing from ya, contempt and disregard
Illusion of ya choosing to pretend you're thinking hard
About a situation you don't care about
Beyond the station getting ratings, and you getting clout
It's Mickey Mouse shit and you wish you weren't here
But you're involved whether you like it or not, let's get it clear
Coz I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I kick it to the
Coz I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I kick it to the
See I'm kicking it to the children of Ulster
And I'm out here promoting the culture
The starving child as death engulfs her
Kevin Carter photograph, and you're the vulture
And you're the one with the power to stop it
But you wouldn't wanna rock the boat and hurt your profit
Margin, chargin straight into the past
Enlargin your barge ship freight full mast
Catastrophe, well that'll tide ya over
A blast of a key as you're ridin in your motor
Importin extortin and keeping things chaos
Cavortin and snortin and reapin big payoffs
Meanwhile the man in the street, he's gettin laid off
You're in the middle and the two sides are played off
Yo, Jimbo - you're not the Man With No Name
A Fistful of Dollars - you're a man with no shame
You're to blame for the weans gettin into hot water
They're aimless, not brainless, but why should you bother
Improving their lot and what they got and do it proper
When you can confuse them and then use them as fodder
Coz I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I kick it to the
Because I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I kick it to the
See I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I kick it to the
Because I'm out here and I'm promoting the culture
And I'm kickin it to the children of Ulster
I'm out here and I'm promoting the culture
And I kick it to the
And I'm kickin it to the
