Discrimination

Fighting Words Dublin, St. Tiernan’s Community School, Dundrum, 24 April 2026

Verse 1
Are people working together in forces?
Discrimination can be kicked off courses
or are they hiding in the bushes?
putting people down in metal crutches
The Spanish sail and the people wail
For all they left was a piece of veil
For this is not a life for us (x 2)

Chorus
People not treated the same
Yet there is no one to blame
So who are we going to frame?
The aim is not to blame,

You don’t fit their standards
You are feeling isolated
They shouldn’t be slandered
People have their rights x2

Verse 2
When you get discriminated,
you want to feel isolated,
so treat everyone the same
you have yourself to blame,
If you choose to be unfair
you’re insane, you musn’t care
then you must be a coward
but you’re really just overpowered

Chorus
People not treated the same
Yet there is no one to blame
So who are we going to frame?
The aim is not to blame,

You don’t fit their standards
You are feeling isolated
They shouldn’t be slandered
People have their rights x2

Bridge
everyone’s rights should be the same
they don’t know who to blame
the women felt the pain
is it the government to blame?
with all their money and their fame
they make people feel ashamed
they just don’t feel the same
and is it them to blame?
they don’t care with their fame
things will only stay the same

Chorus
People not treated the same
Yet there is no one to blame
So who are we going to frame?
The aim is not to blame,

You don’t fit their standards
You are feeling isolated
They shouldn’t be slandered
People have their rights x3
