Irish Celebration Lyrics - Singles - Macklemore

I'm an Irishman 

Leather weathered Irish skin 

Beard orange as the sunset over the flag 

In the night sky we fly it in 

Pride for the life we fight to live 

History, I write with it 

Spit it with the dialect 

And this is a celebration of course 

The green, white, orange 

And when they pulled up on that shore 

First generation born 

Toast to those that made it on a boat to New York 

And when the English came the colonizer came 

They filled up bottles of gasoline, turned 'em into balls of flame 

And hurled 'em to protect what's ours 

Don't touch these lucky charms 

Whole bunch of Irish screaming "Fuck the London Guard" 

I'm kidding not dissin' London, it's bloody raw 

But go against the Irish and get a bloody jaw 

Preaching nonviolence but reminds of the scars 

Unify us, put a pint up everybody sing a song

We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

From New England to New Brunswick 

Galway to Dublin 

A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers 

Heart, blue collared workers and family 

My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty 

Now with whiskey in our veins 

Claiming were the bravest men 

I drank Old Crow, but pretended it was Jameson 

Dad sipped Guiness, I sipped Old English 

'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy, this is what a beer is" 

I put down the drink, couldn't drink like a gentleman 

That doesn't mean I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em 

Challenge us in football, yeah we might lose 

But don't put us next to a bar stool 

We take the history, script it in song 

Light the torch then you pass it on 

That's right I said, lineage through the rhythm we script it from the palm 

and we give til' Ireland is on 

Bottoms Up

We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya
