Verse :

C                        Cadd9   
I missed a day or two of school, 
G                      G7
because I was called a fool

C                    Cadd9   G  
And beat around the place, 
                 G7
because I was staring into space

C                        
He stole a little bit of coal, 
Cadd9   G                  G7
because his flat was cold

C                                
There's mountains of coal on the 
Cadd9
docks

He took some and rain into the cops

   Am7                      D
And now we're packed off to school

                D
We'll learn the meaning of the word,
 meaning of the word

Am7                         D
And now we're locked up in school

Am7
Industrial school

                 D
We'll learn the meaning of the word 
cruel

[Just follows the same chords 
pattern]

My uncle was sent to Daingean
My Granda to Letterfrack
And the child that was locked up 
there
Never did come back
Some were raped and some were 
tortured
Some beaten and abused,
Frightened little children, so 
lonely and so confused

Now the Irish have their stories and
 their music that’s passed on
From distant generations, who were 
kept down for so long
But they also have the madness, 
child abuse and rage
Sexual frustration passed down from 
another age
Their language land and culture, 
their ancient pride was lost,
And sexual repression was what 
religion cost.
We have to break the cycle, cos it’s
 still passed down boss
We have to break the cycle before 
any more kids are lost
