The Men Behind the Wire |
| Armoured cars and tanks and guns |
| Came to take away our sons |
| But every man must stand behind |
| The men behind the wire |
| Through the little streets of Belfast |
| In the dark of early morn |
| British soldiers came marauding |
| Wrecking little homes with scorn |
| Heedless of the crying children |
| Cragging fathers from their beds |
| Beating sons while helpless mothers |
| Watched the blood poor from their heads |
| Not for them a judge and jury |
| Nor indeed a trial at all |
| But being Irish means you´re guilty |
| So we´re guilty one and all |
| Round the world the truth will echo |
| Cromwell´s men are here again |
| England´s name again is sullied |
| In the eyes of honest men. |
| Proud we march behind our banner |
| Firm we´ll stand behind our men |
| We will have them free to help us |
| Build a nation once again |
| On the people step together |
| Proudly firmly on their way |
| Never fear never falter |
| Till the boys are home to stay |
