great britain you are tremendous
and nobody knows like me
but really what are you 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 or go berserk
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
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
say 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

make ireland irish today
give ireland back to the irish
