[Intro]

I get PTSD from the sight of cranes because we build it up like it's 2008


[Verse 1]

I need some time to rest

But I need more success

The TV told me that I need to go and find myself

I need to buy this watch, I need to buy this pen

I need to buy a house to fit all of my ego in

The bank told me go invest

They told me go invest

Go take out a big enough loan that you can't pay the debt

The boom is building up its never gonna end

Recession hit now were filled with guilt and embarrassment

Eviction notices and the pressure that never ends

That’s why I killed myself and so did all my friends


[Chorus]

I get PTSD from the sight of cranes because we build it up to break like it's 2008

P-P-PTSD from the sight of cranes never forget the look of pain that was on my daddy’s face

I get PTSD from the sight of cranes because we build it up to break like it's 2008

P-P-PTSD from the sight of cranes never forget the look of pain that was on my daddy’s face


[Verse 2]

Walking down my lane and I’m screaming aw bollocks

Cus every bastard in the town has turned into alcoholics

Pubs are empty but every gaf is full of cans

And we are still stuck up in the west screaming mayo for the Sam

And my mother said only one clothes wash a week

Because the bills keep on rising from the esb


[Bridge]

It's only so long til the boom goes bust

Til we reopen to no jobs and the welfares cut

This is Irelandm, oh so catholic and corrupt

But it’s a bloody great place when you’re not giving a fuck


[Chorus]

I get PTSD from the sight of cranes because we build it up to break like it's 2008

P-P-PTSD from the sight of cranes never forget the look of pain that was on my daddy’s face

I get PTSD from the sight of cranes because we build it up to break like it's 2008

P-P-PTSD from the sight of cranes never forget the look of pain that was on my daddy’s face
