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, and all the people Say that all 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 in, or go mad 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 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 NOTE: "You can't stay out of it, you know, if you think at all these days. We're still humans, you know, and you wake up and you read your newspaper, it affects you. So I don't mind too much, it doesn't worry me, like I say. I don't now plan to do everything I do as a political thing, you know, but just on this one occasion I think the British Government overstepped their mark and showed themselves to be more of a sort of a repressive regime than I ever believed them to be." (Paul McCartney, 1972)
