This brilliant new song was written by teenagers Ruby, Ameila, Jessica, Melonie, Maddie and Shaylagh from Sphere 17, Bonnybrook, Coolock.

Verse One – Beginning
Street lights flicker over cardboard beds,
While city dreams dance in their lucky heads,
A heavy pack with a weathered coat,
the silent stories that the side walk wrote,
Donald Trump joked about immigrants
ICE deporting and killing the innocent

Chorus One
People trying to get to work to make money
Fuel protesters think it’s all funny,
Farmers don’t have fuel in their tractors
People losing sight of important factors,
O’Connell Street and the M50 is blocked,
fuel ships were stopped and left docked

Verse Two - Middle
A ring light glows, a halo for the face,
In corners carved for a creative space,
A life in pixels polished bright and clean,
A digital ghost inside a TV screen,
The government is extremely unfair
And it’s making me pull out my grey hair

Chorus Two
People trying to get to work to make money
Fuel protesters think it’s all funny,
Farmers don’t have fuel in their tractors
People losing sight of important factors,
O’Connell Street and the M50 is blocked,
fuel ships were stopped and left docked

Bridge - End
People being discriminated because of their race,
Just because they are not from the exact same place,
Even Melania herself gets in with no trace,
No one even bothered to questioned her case
