In honor of St. Paddy’s Day, I share with you the lyrics of the Best Song Ever Written About 9/11 By Someone Other Than Bruce Springsteen: Doug Cogan and Christopher Storc’s “The Ballad of Mike Moran.” Remember the fireman from the “Concert for New York City” who said “this is my face, bitch” to Osama? It’s about him:
I am Irish and was proud to serve with other firemen Who gave their lives for us that day, each one of them a friend In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish assPosted by Stephen Silver at March 17, 2004 07:03 PMThey’re the bravest men I’ve known and I’ll miss them every day
I will keep them in my heart, so they’re never far away
In remembrance of my brothers, who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass
You’ll pay the price, but first you’ll kiss my royal Irish ass.Never thinking of their safety, only saving other lives
They never made it home to see their daughters, sons, or wives
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish assTry to take our freedom and you’ve made a big mistake
The Spirit of America, you’re never going to break
In remembrance of my brothers who from earthly bonds did pass
Osama, step right up and kiss my royal Irish ass
Hah! I own this song on CD.
