THE DEAD GAELIC LANGUAGE
by
James Bredin

The Gaelic language was made dead according to their rules,
Forbidden in the then Queen Victoria's new national schools,
Even today some Irish scream that it's still alive and well,
Can't admit that it died long ago, so they feel they're in hell.

It's not nice to know that your language is long dead and gone,
You wont read or hear about this hurtful conclusion in song,
You wont see it in the cinema and was never heard in church,
You know, the place where pedophile priests have been known to lurk.

Of course, old newsworthy events like this are not worth a dime,
Only Israel revived a dead language, Hebrew at that time,
These vast changed events are seldom mentioned, these modern days,
Where certain historical events are looked back at, through a haze.
