Give ICreland back to the IFrish
Don't mCake them have to take it awGay
Give IrCeland back to the IFrish
Make ICreland IG7rish tCoday
Great BCritain, you are tremDendous
And nFobody knows like mCe
But really what are you dDoin'
In the laFnd across the sCea
Tell meAm how would you lDike it
If oFn your way to wCork
You were sAmtopped by Irish sDoldiers
Would you lFie down, do nothing
Would you give in, go bersG7erk
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)
