Morrissey -- Irish Blood, English Heart
***Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!***
Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of
There is no-one on earth I'm afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me
I've been dreaming of a time when
To be English is not to be baneful
To be standing by the flag not feeling
Shameful, racist or partial
Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of
There is no-one on earth I'm afraid of

The English are sick to death of Labour
And Tories, and spit upon the name of Oliver Cromwell
And denounce this royal line that still salute him
And will salute him forever ***Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!*** Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of ... more -

East Los Angeles residents officially started a cityhood movement almost a year ago. Last month, the East L.A. Residents Association (ELARA) broke news that a financial feasibility report shows that East L.A. is sustainable as a city, generating $48 million annually. This short report from Saturday Oct. 13, 2007, was a benefit/awareness concert aimed at the youth of East Los Angeles, as organized by 'Cityhood for East L.A.' volunteers.
