Homeless in the thousands
Worsens everyday
This the state the Dublin in the digital age

They were homeless in the dozens 
When I was a kid
They say that things were bad then
But this is off grid

Is it cause my father
Went and lost his way
When he lost his wages 
out of Dublin bay?

Is it cause my Mammy
Had me out of wedlock?
Born in to a laundry 
Never did catch up..

Is it cause my landlord 
Can’t even look at me?
So high up on the ladder
They can’t see the streets 

I'm begging cause I'm hungry
I'm strung out cause I'm cold
I just want to lie down
And be left alone

No, it's cause like, I calls it Gods apples or Gods fish type cause those times, 
Ye know, it was a smaller, smaller type population,
you could go get your own fish and apples, 
Not like needing money an idea and that 
I was laughing about it with my sister, man well she's not my sister cause she's Asian ,
Well, I know you can have an Asian sister but it's cause we were both put in the same foster care,
same foster family, was saying right that even though we've been in care,
we've both got kids who's in care,
No-one really cared like,
Like that bloke from the BBC, he was saying like, I should trust him,
I said, I don't need to trust you to talk to you about being homeless
Because ye know,  no-one trusted me  and I never really trusted anyone, ye know
But I was laughing about it with my sister who's not really my sister,
Yeah? 
Is that?

Some say change is coming
I say change has come
No one carries change in
their pockets anymore 

You might spare a moment 
Share some poor souls pain
Meet them in the eyes at least
If you can't spare change 

All our heroes would be reeling
and rolling in their graves
If they saw the state of 
O'Connell street today 

Homeless in the thousands
Worsens by the day 
Thiss the state of Dublin 
In the digital age 

As the rich get richer are they free?
They just as lost as you and me?
There’s a thousand cranes along the quays
Keep building up, pushing down on me
I was born into the Liberties
Got no clean clothes and nowhere to sleep
But I’m rich in soul and history
Least I’m home in this poverty
They are building a hospital it seems
5 star rooms but no room for me
I was born into the Liberties
I’ve been 16 years sleeping on these streets
