Irish live exports to the Middle East

What the hell is happening
To Ireland
The blarney stone the shamrocks and the rest
Female cows exported to Libya and Turkey
For me today this really is the test
The sea journey the lack of food and water
The evil that is handling abroad
The killing in the slaughter house
To Me its bloody awful
Cruelty and torture their reward

For really having anything to do with you
Cork based Athlone based the carnage here
Close to 3000 bound animals going to be slaughtered
cattle in the sea and all that fear
They really must be desperate to do this
Tied up, beaten, tails snapped what a way
These are female animals getting bloody well beaten
Whats wrong with men whats wring with them I say

Too much guinness is it drunk and weary
The Middle East sees stabbing
and sawn throats
And these are animals not fed on the sea voyage
Ireland should be ashamed their use of boats
Many floating upside down and bloated
These live exports sent away to be
Killed Whats wrong with farmers
Do they lack all empathy

Or don’t they care a monkeys
That is how it is
Really treated badly
Thats seen as a whizz
And lambs too little babies
Treated in this way
Psychopathic corporations
Will never save the day

Its all about the exports
And the money in the bank
Really I am ashamed of Ireland
If you want me to be frank
When you raise these animals
Don’t you care at all
If they are beaten or if they are
Kicked
And treated with so much gall
Hacking through their throats
The agony of that
Frankly Ireland has got be seen
As to exactly where its at

Live exports to the middle east
Really ought to be
Banned it isn’t happiness
Not a trade to see
Part of the big export drive
With a Syrian I hear
Who provides the ships all licensed
So they all are in the clear

And the EU is now shipping
And Ireland part of that
So no one cares of scruples
For me I smell a rat
Put yourselves in their place
