Bap Kennedy - The Ghosts of Belfast lyrics

Jimmy I've got it now I'd rather be dead Than take what I'm given Or eat what I'm fed Well I can't help myself Sometimes it's true But nothing came easy for me or for you You'll be a long time in the grave And you can't live in the past Let's lay down to rest All the ghosts of Belfast I've got my reasons I've got my pride My gla** is half full But it's cracked on the side I wish I could take back The things that I said Never mind there's better times Just up ahead
