Ireland and Mars

They say they're gonna go to Mars now
They say they're gonna go past the stars
And oh, you know, well here we are
We're still in Ireland

We never became Americans
We never became Englishmen
Now we won't be Martians
We're still in Ireland

Could you build a Galway on Mars now?
Could you build a sweet Belfast?
Could you build a Dublin on Mars now?
How dare you even ask!

Well some things you just can't replace
& the Emerald Isle puts a smile on my face
Oh some things you just can't remake
No matter how much money or men you take

They say they're gonna go to Mars now
They say they're gonna go past the stars
And oh, you know, well here we are
We're still in Ireland

We never became Americans
We never became Englishmen
Now we won't be Martians
We're still in Ireland
