Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more
\nwith armalites and motorbombs I thought I knew the score
\nbut now we have a weapon, we’ve never used before
\nthe Brits are looking worried – and their going to worry more!<\/p>\n

Tiocfaidh Ar La, sing Up the ‘RA
\nSAM missiles, in the sky<\/p>\n

I started off with petrol bomb and throwing bricks and stones
\nwith a 100 more lads like me I never was along
\nbut soon and learned that bricks and stones won’t drive the Brits away
\nit wasn’t very long before, I joined the IRA<\/p>\n

Then there came Internment in the year of ’71
\nthe Brits thought we were beaten that we were on the run
\non that early August morning they kicked’in our back door
\nbut for every man they took away, they missed a hundred more<\/p>\n

I spent eight years in the cages, I had time to think and plan
\nfor though they locked away a boy, I walked out a man
\nand there’s only one thing that I learned will in their cell I lay
\nthe Brits will never leave us, until their blown away!<\/p>\n

All through the days of Hunger strike I watched my comrades die
\nwhile in the streets of Belfast you could hear the women cry
\nI can’t forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall
\nI salute my fallen comrades, as I watch the choppers fall<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
