The Sam Song (Live)

Well I have been a Provo now for fifteen years or more
 Of armalites and mortar bombs I thought I knew the score
 Now we have a weapon we've never used before
 The Brits are looking worried, and they're going to worry more
 Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the 'RA (Ooh, ah, up the 'RA! Ooh ah up the 'RA!)
 SAM missiles in the sky...
 Well 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
 It wasn't very long before (who did I join?) I joined the IRA
 Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the 'RA (Ooh, ah, up the 'RA! Ooh ah up the 'RA!)
 SAM missiles in the sky...
 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 (how many did they miss?) they missed a hundred more
 Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the 'RA (Ooh, ah, up the 'RA! Ooh ah up the 'RA!)
 SAM missiles in the sky...
 I spent eight years in the cages had 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 when?) until they're blown away
 Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the 'RA (Ooh, ah, up the 'RA! Ooh ah up the 'RA!)
 SAM missiles in the sky...
 All through the days of hunger strike I watched my comrades die
 And in the streets of Belfast you could hear the women cry
 I can'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 'RA (Ooh, ah, up the 'RA! Ooh ah up the 'RA!)
 SAM missiles in the sky...
