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
