I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more

with armalites and motorbombs I thought I knew the score

but now we have a weapon, we've never used before

the Brits are looking worried - and their going to worry more!


Tiocfaidh Ar La, sing Up the 'RA

SAM missiles, in the sky


I started off with petrol bomb and throwing bricks and stones

with a 100 more lads like me I never was along

but soon and learned that bricks and stones won't drive the Brits away

it wasn't very long before, I joined the IRA


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, they missed a hundred more


I spent eight years in the cages, I had time to think and plan

for though they locked away a boy, I walked out a man

and there's only one thing that I learned will in their cell I lay

the Brits will never leave us, until their blown away!


All through the days of Hunger strike I watched my comrades die

while 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
