Give Ireland Back to The Irish

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain, you are tremendous
And nobody knows like me
But really, what are we doing?
In the land across the sea

Tell me, how would you like it?
If on your way to work
You were stopped by Irish soldiers
Would you lie down, do nothing?

Would you give in?
Go berserk
Give Ireland back

Great Britain and all the people
Said that people must be free
And meanwhile, back in Ireland
There's a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country
And he's feeling really down
And he's sitting in a prison
Say

Should he lie down, do nothing?
Should he behave like a man?
Give Ireland back
