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 be have like a man.    Give Ireland back...
