Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Give Ireland Back To The Irish

Performed by Paul McCartney and Wings

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, you are tremendous

And nobody knows like me

But really, what are we doing?

In the land across the sea

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?

Go berserk

Give Ireland back

Great Britain and all the people

Said 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 down

And he's sitting in a prison

Say

Should he lie down, do nothing?

Should he behave like a man?

Give Ireland back
