My name is Bobby Sands, MP  Born in the city of Belfast  Divided by religion  I grew up fast    I was stabbed and I was spat upon  My family run out of its home  There was only one solution  Turn the whole system upside down    But the system had other ideas  I got lifted for carryin' a gun  In a trial without a jury  I got fourteen years from the judge    Screws beat me regularly  But they couldn't break me because  I had the love of my comrades  And a burnin' faith in my Cause    Still I left a girl outside pregnant  Married her while on remand  Now I got a son and a pain in my heart  When he doesn't recognize his old man    Your soul's on ice oh oh oh oh  But they can't stop the desire  To break on out oh oh oh oh  When your heart is on fire    We wouldn't wear their convict clothes  So they stripped us to the bone  Threw in some threadbare blankets.....    And when they jeered us about our nakedness  As we slopped out down the halls  We wouldn't come out of their prison cells  We smeared shit on their prison walls    Stuck in an eight foot concrete box  With a bible, a mattress  And the threat of violence every day....    Can I make it through these fourteen years  Will my son remember my face  I don't blame her for the separation  But for Christ's sake let him keep his name    Your soul's on ice oh oh oh oh  But they can't stop the desire  To break on out oh oh oh oh  When your heart is on fire    Five simple things we ask of them  Five simple things denied  But Thatcher will not compromise....    I ask my Mother's permission  To finally break her heart  We have come to a decision  ......Hunger Strike    Three comrades starve behind me  I pray to God that my  Death will lead to compromise....    I can no longer see your face  My bones break through my skin  I'm goin' back to Belfast City  You can't cage my spirit in    Your soul's on ice  But they can't stop the desire  To break on out  When your heart is on fire
