Текст песни
Well I have been a Provo now for fifteen years or more Of armalites
and mortar bombs I thought I knew the score Now we have a weapon
we've never used before The Brits are looking worried,
and they're going to worry more Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the '
RA (
Ooh, ah, up the '
RA!
Ooh ah up the '
RA!) SAM missiles in the sky...
Well I started out with petrol bombs and throwing bricks and stones
There were a hundred more lads like me I never was alone Soon I
learned that bricks and stones won't drive the Brits away It wasn't
very long before (who did I join?
) I joined the IRA Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the '
RA (
Ooh, ah, up the '
RA!
Ooh ah up the '
RA!) SAM missiles in the sky...
Then there came internment in the year of '71 The Brits thought we
were beaten that we were on the run On that early august morning they
kicked in our back door But for every man they took away (how many
did they miss?
) they missed a hundred more Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the '
RA (
Ooh, ah, up the '
RA!
Ooh ah up the '
RA!) SAM missiles in the sky...
I spent eight years in the cages had time to think and plan Although
they locked away a boy I walked out a man There's only one thing that
I learned while in a cell I lay The Brits will never leave us
(until when?) until they're blown away Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the '
RA (
Ooh, ah, up the '
RA!
Ooh ah up the '
RA!) SAM missiles in the sky...
All through the days of hunger strike I watched my comrades die And
in the streets of Belfast you could hear the women cry I can't forget
the massacre that Friday at Loughgall I salute my fallen
comrades as, I watch the choppers fall Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the '
RA (
Ooh, ah, up the '
RA!
Ooh ah up the '
RA!) SAM missiles in the sky...
