Great Britain, you are tremendous

And nobody knows like me

But really, what are you doing

In the land across the sea

Now 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, Who can say?

Give Ireland Back To The Irish

Don't Make Them Have To Take It Away

(instrumental break)

Great Britain and all the people

Say 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 bad

And he's sitting in a prison

Should he lie down, do nothing,

Should he give up, or go mad?
