    Catchy, thanks for sharing it with us!

    [Intro]

    1. There’s a little bit of breaking news to bring you
    2. And that is that counter terrorism police will investigate the rap trio, Kneecap[1]

    [Chorus]

    1. Nah, nah, nah
    2. Imithe le fada
    3. It’s Kneecap, the recap;
    4. Ríthe Bhéal Feirste
    5. Nah, nah, nah
    6. Imithe le fada
    7. Ar chrónaigh sibh Provaí, Móglaí Bap agus Mo Chara

    Annotation:

    This line nods to reports of Kneecap being investigated by UK counter-terrorism police, likely due to their politically charged lyrics and republican imagery. It’s a tongue-in-cheek jab at the state’s overreaction to dissenting voices in art, highlighting how their music is seen as threatening enough to warrant surveillance.
