The Tossers A Criminal of me Lyrics:
My great Grandpa was a king, a monarch stout and
noble. He surveyed this land so green, and he said
"She's fair and humble". As far as the
eye can see, from Carrauntooil to Giant's Causeway
was ours, until they went and made a criminal of
me.

Many a Celtic head had rolled, and rolled upon the
hillside, and they bathed their horses hooves in
Hibernian blood and their hide. In exile they did
flee, and set up a church and home there, 'till
the landlord and the bailiff made it criminality.

Oh, and on the road they came to run, run until
the runnin's done. Run far away from fettered
chain, the land was ours to barter. We succumb
from sweat and strain, and look they're right
behind again. If they catch me boys, I know
they'll make a criminal of me.

A criminal of me, a criminal of me. Wandering
forever, hungering eternally.

A criminal of me, a criminal of me. Run, run,
before they make a criminal of me.

Across the sea they sailed, to a land both bright
and noble. For they'd watched their neighbors
starve, and the bloodline as it fumbled. As they
reached the safer side, ole Papa said to Jimmy, to
try and live a life so they'd not make a criminal
of he.

"Go be alert," sad Da, "do not
perish for the gentry." Tho' poor but proud
was he, whenever they called discretely, well he'd
smash their faces in and in gaol he died poorly.
"But," he said, "don't let them try
and make a criminal of ye."

Oh, now my boss he steps so gay, so gaily up the
street, while I dull the pain in pubs and still
can't afford to eat. He is dashing, he is fancy
and he'll never want you see. Evan as the factory
shuts his shoes reflect the criminal in me.

Violent and drunk now in the street with nothing
to sustain me, I'm gonna die here in this hole.
The kids I can't take care of with me. But it must
be taught to let the blame and hatred out of their
heads. For anger and danger make you just another
pathetic, drunken, violent paddy dead.
