Paddy's Lament is an Irish folk song about Irish immigrants being asked to fight in the American Civil War as soon as they got to America, and then these immigrants ended up wishing they'd stayed in Ireland. They left Ireland because there are no jobs there (which Dave King also said in Black Friday Rule) but then they realized they'd rather be jobless and hungry than fighting in a war they didn't want to fight.
Fast forward to the 21st Century, there are still no jobs in Ireland, but America is no longer fighting a Civil War. So like he said in Black Friday Rule, Dave King tells us again that America is a better place to be than Ireland these days. Therefore, Irish immigrants should no longer be singing a song about longing for home. Hence: "No More Paddy's Lament."
