You say you’re telling me right now of how you think that it should be By the hand of Democratic law and the hand of decency But, your raging, you won’t talk law to me or tell me any stand You’re pointing all the fingers but refuse to shake the hand Instead of sitting content in your ideals and your laws You have to tell me what you see, cause I cant see a lot But I see how Democratic your law is when it’s revised and necessarily changed The Irish were arrested without warrants because they were soldiers armed and estranged All’s fair in love and war then they were tried without jury The act said fear of jurors, death threats Also, no people could object to thee They were arrested under special laws and tried in diplock juries But, when asked by Amnesty or other countries They were criminalized as terrorists So you could ignore political talks and ignore political struggling So you can hold onto your colony without political juggling So you sat firm and quiet in your country and morals and common law promoting But, Nationalists kept coming, bombs and people kept exploding The Somazas crushed Nicaragua, The Falklands, Angola and Nambia, South Africa They fought you tooth and nail, till they were crushed or you gave up You’re not a Democracy, youre a Capitalist empire that colonizes weaker lands And taxes natural resource, oil, diamonds, copper exchanging hands You put in Democratic so called governments as heads of the state That are willing to adhere to your bidding and reap measly profits from their state And you colonize them with phone companies, hotels, McDonalds and Nike plants And erect military bases under the pretense of defense But the truth is its defense from revolution, in case the poor rise up Against the governments you’ve helped to empower and make the final stop Then you called them a communist menace and stage and attack from your own bases Then the government death squads, ... , destroy their empty faces You sent embargos on countries who don’t agree or finally do revolt A free country can’t sell their natural resource on a global free market vote The countries that sit in the N.A.T.O. seats are the same domineering five And the butchers they empower keep the rest of the seats alive And the countries ostracized by embargo that form the rest of the world Were forced to form a non-aligned organization, a union, so they could be heard You call this a free market and your system Democratic But it’s now a taxing empire that sends its shots out dead sporatic Well, you can take my contentment, my sense of security You can beat me from head to toe, till I bleed You can starve me or freeze me because its all the same to me Because in my mind I know I want to be free You sent your psychologist to evaluate me and give a report to the paper to read I’m more stable than he is - Im beginning to see In this frustration of war, it’s one purpose I see I know of your tactics to break people like me Separate love forever, I’m refused being seen In the maze of our memories we live there you see In our minds we are together and forever we’ll be You can murder my land, make the skylarks scream Just to tell your provincials you’d not turn on them Your possessive ego crushes my friends and me But I know in my mind that I want to be free You fought Ireland as an organized army, you fought them as a country But they fought you as a people and you were oblivious as to which serf was defending If you act like rats you get treated like this, but now you are rebutting Because we stood like a rock when for tactics and answers, like rats you were scrambling What to report in the media, to tell to those to which you lied When Angolans and Serbs and Chinese and Nicaraguans and Zapatistas and Iranians and Cubans and Irish are always the ones who have died
