All The Irish (Must Go To Heaven) Lyrics

We pissed upon the Blarney Stone
And measured the lengths we had to go.
I threw a brick through Galway's Bay
And spat my hate upon the snow.

We styled ourselves on centuries past
And sang the songs our fathers wrote.
We sunned ourselves on foreign shores
And cut the emerald by the throat.

And these American dollars!
Or is it British pound notes?
Whose is this gonna have my head ???
Off with our heads our bones! ???

All the Irish
All the Irish
All the Irish must go to heaven
All the Irish
All the Irish
All the Irish must go to heaven

All the Irish must go to heaven
All the Irish must go to heaven
All the Irish must go to heaven

Who's this gonna have my head
Who's this gonna have my head

I'm running
I'm running
I'm running
Oh God oh God
I'm running
I'm running
I'm running
Oh God oh God
I'm running
God I'm running
God I'm running
God oh God I'm running

All the Irish must go heaven
But not me.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I always wondered why all the Irish must go to heaven but him. Was it because he pissed on the Blarney Stone at the start of the song? Or because he threw the brick in Galway Bay? On reading the words again, I guess he believes he's been too corrupted by US dollars and British pounds to deserve a proper saintly Irish end, meaning he's somehow betrayed his Irish heritage with those outside influences.
