wonderful, powerful lyrics.
i'm glad there were huge figures who had the guts to scream and shout about the atrocities that went on here in northern ireland in the 70s. lennon's asking the english to put themselves in OUR shoes.
"If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead"
you couldn't get a more poignant opening line than that.
thanks lennon, shame you weren't my era... but i respect you endlessly for this.
