Paul McCartney - Give Ireland back to the Irish

Most people in Britain support a united independent Ireland

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2001/aug...



Song about the continued British occupation of the north eastern counties of Ireland which denies the Irish people the right of national self-determination.

Thanks to you all for your worldwide support for freedom in Ireland

Song performed by Wings.

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today
Great britian you are tremendous
And nobody knows like me
But really what are you doin
In the land across the sea

Tell me how would you like it
If on your way to work
You were stopped by irish soliders
Would you lie down do nothing
Would you give in, or go berserk

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

Great britian and all the people
Say that all people must be free
Meanwhile back in ireland
Theres a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country
And hes feeling really bad
And hes sitting in a prison
Should he lie down do nothing
Should give in or go mad

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

Give ireland back to the irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give ireland back to the irish
Make ireland irish today

john lennon gave funds to the ira,top man!!!!

[hANK UNDERHILL]

Isn't this the same guy who accepted knighthood from the queen and plays at her Diamond Jubilee ceremonies? I guess he totally forgot about this song.

[seamus oneal]

yeah, you are right

[Eoin Bishop]

It's sad to still see bitterness between people on such a small populated island. The funny thing is, you are all fighting among yourselves as if it really matters what country you are now part of. fact sadly is, British or Irish, you are fucked either way. The BANKS rule Europe and the US and will continue to do so. Do you really think the Governments have much say anymore, or is it the top banking officials that tell them what to do. Stop fighting. You need to cop the fuck on at this point.

the tragedy and inevitibilities of war .i strongly suspect our just cause and the IRA were infiltrated and hijacked by a few that utilized the struggle for their own personal gain. the fog of war you always find them out too late, particularily nauseating wher you remember the price paid by the p.o.w, and the hunger strikers

[millezenith]

If Paul says Ireland shall be returned to the irish when that's what should happen!

[Ballyhook]

[Michael Martin]

FUCK YOU

[seamus oneal]

as a republican born in monaghan. i completely agree with you,it was a moronic action and reprehensible regardless of how other republicans view the 26 gvmnt, fundamentally wrong and criminal to abuse our own people in this way, and in the long run only aided the british

[Ballyhook]

i understand that the cathloics need proctection from the loyalist mobs in late 60s. and that made the I.R.A. stronger. but i dont agree with them comming over the border to the republic and robbing our banks. how irish is that??????? the fucken had us on our knees too. i say this to all the UP THE RA people who know fuck all
