lyrics

American Townland (O’Farrell / MacClancy)

American townland,
snow and Iceland
Russian farmland
and the sword of Islam.

The state of new Israel remembers Belsen
now the sand of Palestine is the grass for Israel.

Won’t you settle down.
stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
not with the noise of your guns.

Woah settle down.
stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
not with the noise of your guns.

Once were towering steeples
now there’s a soaring eagle.
a crescent moon and a rising sun.

our prayers ascending- what good will they bring.
when all's that’s willing is more and more killing.

Won't you settle down.
stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
not with the noise of your guns.

Woah settle down.
stop fighting for your Gods.
They can’t hear you now
not with the noise of your guns

We’ve got the Mountains of Mourne
the County Cork I was born in

Any dirty old town where the rain keeps on falling.
our prayers ascending, but what good will they bring?
if all that’s willing is more and more killing…..
