Текст песни
I see a dark cloud rising outside Wexford town
I see a hard rain on Ireland pouring down
There’ll be no time to shelter. Now let’s all make a stand
O’Malley’s plan we’ll have to ban or he’ll destroy this land
They want four nuclear stations, and who knows how many more?
If we are to stop them, we must defend Carnsore
So men and women of Ireland, it’s time to show your hand
The lessons of France and the USA should make us understand
That the working man is being used again
It’s the working man that’s being used again
Two thousand jobs are promised, believe that if you can
The nuclear boys with their nuclear toys, they tell us all is
But in Carnsore, Easkey and Kilrush the ESB would build —
Should one go wrong, despite their talk, thousands could be killed
It was in 1968 Jack Lynch went back to Cork
To open Skiddy Island where a few men got work
The multi-national oil tycoons, all turned up in style
Ten years later fifty men lay slaughtered by the oil
It’s the working man that’s being used again
It’s the working man that’s being used again
We never see their faces, these multi-national czars
Our lands they rape from cape to cape, our seas they fill with tars
The Westinghouse industrialists admitted to bribery
I wonder if our leaders from corruption will be free
Where will they put their poisons, they have yet to decide
We’ll sink it here, we’ll bury it there, but the fact’s we’ll have to hide
Will we leave this to our children to
It’ll be our shame we’ll be to blame if we let them use their plan
It’s the working man that’s being used again
It’s the working man that’s being used again
So gather round you people, this fight has just begun
We fought before, we know the score, this fight it must be won
Remember that the sun’s up there, just waiting for its turn
With the wind, and the tide, and the ocean wide, we have energy to burn
It’s the working man that’s being used again
It’s the working man that’s being used again
It’s the working man that’s being used again
Yes it’s the working man that’s being used again
