Clara Byrne - I'm Sorry
I'm sorry if this world it rumblesIncomprehensible and cold
I'm sorry if you're only mining
The distraction from the gold
I'm sorry if you're only filling
Pockets from the bottom up
I'm sorry if ingrained are ideals
Worthy not the test of time
I'm sorry if you'll never know it
The imitation from the real
I'm sorry if it's left you empty
What little else is there to feel?
I'm sorry if I've known my comfort
Sitting next to your despair
I'm sorry if your arm it cradles
Your head while wood it spears your hip
I'm sorry if you've ever known it
I'm sorry no one seems to care
I'm sorry but we're all distracted
To shout complaints into the air
I'm sorry if you've ever seen it
Hanging high above the roots
So few of us will make it
Our heads forever in the noose
Well among the people lie the cadre
Who'd like to tell your fortune true
That the lands you know are drowning
For the dog that eats his own
He keeps us blinded, keeps us simple
While he sniffs around our door
Waiting for the chance to profit
From the weakest and the poor
I'm sorry if you seen it coming
It's a weight so few can bear
I'm sorry that we're all distracted
To shout complaints into the air
I'm sorry if you've ever seen it
Hanging high above the roots
So few of us will make it
Our heads forever in the noose
