Lyrics

[Intro]

[clapping in time]

Oh gather in close

You gobshites and saints

We’ve waited all night

Now watch what happens

When the women get tired of being polite

[Verse 1]

You wrote all the rules on the back of a bar tab

Spilled your stout

Said "girl

Just smile"

We were pouring the pints

Doing figures in margins

Learning your tricks all the while

You toast to “the lads” as the ceiling keeps dripping

We’re patching the roof

Side by side

If the ship’s going down

Who’s bailing

Who’s steering?

Spoiler

Lads — step aside

[Chorus]

Rise up

You eejits

Slide out of the way (hey!)

We’re done taking orders

We’re leading today (hey!)

You had all your centuries

Look how that went

Now the women are marching

And we’re running the tent

Rise up

You eejits

Here’s how this’ll be

You can sing the chorus

But the captain is me

[Verse 2]

You tell your tall tales of “great men of history”

Funny

We’re there in each line

Cooking your dinners

Then fixing your messes

Signing your plans

But unsigned

You call it “tradition” when you hog the microphones

Then ask us to sweeten the song

We tuned all the fiddles

We taught half the children

We’ve let you play leader too long

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[call and response

Shouted]

Who kept the books? — We did!

Who lit the flame? — We did!

Who held this whole mad island up

While you drank through the day? — We did!

Who knows the maps? — We do!

Who charts the seas? — We do!

If you want a future worth a damn

Best hand us the keys — now move!
