Lyrics:

So here we are now once again
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
Many our brightest young women
And men
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
They used to ship to botany bay
Branded us criminals made us pay
But tell me what has-changed today
Ten thousand miles from Dublin

Why are we here, this far from home
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
We can’t blame the famine or English
Throne
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
They say our country is on the mend
But with a couple of houses and money
to spend
It’s not their children they have to send
Ten thousand miles from Dublin

These politicians of whom we speak
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
Are men who earn a few grand a week
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
Their favours freely sold and bought
Gambling others cash for sport
When will they have their day in court?
Ten thousand miles from Dublin

At whose door lies the blacker name?
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
Where bests the heavier weight of shame?
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
On those who had their pockets lined
Or those who watched with eyes turned
Blind
It’s enough to drive you out of your mind
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
Ten thousand miles from Dublin
