about

True story...myself, Cheeko and Joyce were coming out of our flat on Marlborough Street in Dublin's fair city, when a young fella ran past us with about four or five guards in tow. They caught him outside the Pro Cathedral and held him down. ourselves and a few passerbys stopped to have a look at the nights entertainment, when it turned a bit nasty with one guard slamming the guys head of the kerb, trying to knock him out. As the three of them held him down, everyone started shouting for him to stop but reinforcements came brandishing their batons before it got any more nasty...inner city life i suppose. I know they have a hard job but I've seen more violence from the Gards in all my years living in the city than I did from the so called scumbags.

lyrics

It's just not on.
I seen one, two, three Gards
Bang a chaps head against the pavement.
You can't do that,
Whatever he's done
Sure doesn't deserve that treatment.

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
They'll pay no mind to you
They'll pay no mind to you

As we stood on
And started shouting
At the ones doing damage
To the young man's head
Then they got scared
You could see it in their eyes
Until more of them arrived
And told us to move away from there

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
They'll pay no mind to you
They'll pay no mind to you
