Negative Vibes - Damien Dempsey

Lord, Won’t you give me the strength to be strong, and be true

Cos, Lord, when the devil gets into my head, I’m so blue

You knock me, if you’re so mighty, why waste your time with me

If I’m bad, ignorant and sad

Why waste your time, you’re mad

You’re just mad, because your life is sad

You’ve done nothing worth while

Twist the knife

Because you hate your life

My life you want to spoil

I’m never going to let

Your negative vibes and comments

Get through to my psyche and cripple me

I’m never going to let

Your negative vibes and comments

Get through to my psyche and cripple me

I never will forget

The suffering that my people went through

In my country and overseas

Were no use, verbal abuse

That’s all you have to give

You preach nil, you’re so cynical

Jesus, wake up and live

Your bad vibe will drive away your tribe

And where will you be then

All alone

Heart as cold as stone

Hurting yourself again
