My name is Sands MP Born in the of Belfast Divided by religion I grew up I was stabbed and I was spat My run out of its home was only one solution Turn the system upside down
But the system had other I got lifted for a gun In a without a jury I got years from the judge
beat me regularly But they break me because I had the of my comrades And a burnin' in my cause
Still I left a girl pregnant Married her while on Now I got a son and a in my heart he doesn't recognize his old man
Your on ice oh, oh, oh, oh But they can't the desire To on out oh, oh, oh, oh your heart is on fire
We wear their convict clothes So stripped us to the bone in some threadbare blankets And when they us about our nakedness As we slopped out the halls We wouldn't out of their prison cells We smeared shit on their prison
Stuck in an eight concrete box With a Bible, a And the threat of everyday Can I it through these fourteen years? Will my son my face? I don't her for the separation But for sake let him keep his name
soul's on ice oh, oh, oh, oh But can't stop the desire To on out oh, oh, oh, oh your heart is on fire
Five simple we ask of them Five things denied But Thatcher, will not I ask my permission To finally break her We have come to a decision, strike
comrades starve behind me I pray to God my will lead to compromise I can no see your face My break through my skin I'm goin' to Belfast City You cage my spirit in
soul's on ice oh, oh, oh, oh But they stop the desire To on out oh, oh, oh, oh When heart is on fire
Your on ice oh, oh, oh, oh But can't stop the desire To on out oh, oh, oh, oh When heart is on fire
