Well I have been a provo now for 15 years or more
Of armalites and mortar bombs
I thought I knew the score
But now we have a weapon that we've never used before
The Brits are getting worried...
...And they're going to worry more!
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah!)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
I started out with petrol bombs
And throwing bricks and stones
There were a hundred more lads like me
I never was alone!
Soon I learned that bricks and stones
Won't drive the Brits away
Well it wasn't very long before
(Who did I join?)
I joined the IRA!
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah!)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
Well 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
Sure they missed twenty more
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah!)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
Well I spent 8 years in the cages
A time to think and plan
Although they locked away a boy
I walked out a man!
There's only one thing that I learned while in a cell I lay
The Brits will never leave us
Until they're blown away!
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah!)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah!)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
All through the days of hunger strikes
I watched my comrades die
And in the streets of Belfast
You could hear the women crying
I cant't forget the massacre
That Friday at Loughgall
I salute my fallen comrades
As I watch the choppers fall!
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah!)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!
Sing up the rah!
(Ooh-ah, up the rah say ooh-ah up the rah)
S.A.M. missiles
In the sky
S.A.M. Missiles
In the sky!
