THE INNER CITY SONG
(Don Baker)
The old man sits wonders just what can he do
He's live here in the neighborhood since 1922
He's forced to leave his home to make way for their plans
And he knows that they don't care or give a damn
So he takes a stroll down Monto what's left of it today
Remembering his childhood and the games he used to play
Now all he's got are memories and they are but a few
And it seems the money grabbers want them too
Chorus:
And living in a one room slum ain't easy
Raising seven children on the dole
No place for kids to play while you build your motor way
Is Loughlin house the playground of today?
Dublin's inner city is a sorry sight to see
A mass of filthy buildings strife and poverty
The people find it hard to make ends meet most of the time
And you're surprised that they should turn to crime
Chorus:
And living in a one room slum ain't easy
Raising seven children on the dole
No place for kids to play while you build your motor way
Is Loughlin house the playground of today?
