Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Militant Irish song?
Militant Irish Band - In the US of A - Hmmm ? They do the singing, others do the dying.

Chrs
" Not for them a judge or jury,
Not for them a trial at all,
Being 'Brit's' means we're guilty,
So we're guilty one and all !"

"Journalists, and armchair patriots,
Sitting by the tele set,
Many miles away from the troubles,
Blaming ould Brittania yet!"

"Sitting in a bar in Boston,
Many miles from the 'Falls,
Sings away the Irish 'patriot',
Safe away from Derry's walls."

"Or perhaps a bar in Dublin,
Here the 'crack' runs so fast,
If the pints were cheap as others dieing,
Ould Ireland united yet at last"

"But don't forget the real ambition,
Ould Ireland free is just a means,
While we are making money,
Drugs, protection and other sceens

(Slowly)
"I remember my old butty Lurch,
Out of work, he joined the mob,
Sent to keep the peace in Ulster
We buried him at Gelligaer Church

Again not my best, but what the hell !!
