San Patricios Lyrics - State Of Grace - Street Dogs

Two hundred Irish go into Mexico 

To fight a battle of manifest destiny 

Driven by their Catholic conscience 

They chose to rise and do what's right 

Joined up with the natives for the fight 

Confused then torn by aggression 

Born against a sovereign land 

El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios 

El Battalion, El Battalion de San Patricios 

Sick and tired of the anglo abuse of might 

And of following orders from a bent U.S. regime 

They joined ranks with the Mexican army 

Red headed ones led by Johny riley 

When you stand behind your principles 

You never lose

Confused then torn by aggression 

Born against a sovereign land

Fight with Riley fierce and wild 

Mirar aqui Rudy 

Churubusco de el 72 

No queridos en la corte marcial 

50 colgados, 16 madriados 

Portrados como trydores 

Grito para ellos, grito para todos 

Parados nunca calleron 

So we celebrate Irish and Mexican unity 

It was forged with blood during manifest destiny 

Confused then torn by aggression 

Born against a sovereign land
