BEIRUT (2.00)
Well he loved his people and he loved his country,
He loved his flag, he was proud of it,
Although he knew he'd have to fight for it,
He never knew he'd have to die for it - oh no,
Stuck out there in someone elses war,
What the hell did you go there for,
Was it the money, was it the glory,
Now you're just another page in that horror story,
CHORUS:
Died in Poland,
Died in the Falklands,
Died in Belfast,
Died in Beirut,
His mother cried, she's got a broken heart,
She had her doubts right from the start,
No one else cared about that guy,
Flash on the news, no real goodbye,
O my heart goes out to you,
Why were you such a fool,
Couldn't you see what was going on,
Just blast in the dark and now you're gone.
REAL WORLD (1.15)
If you want a real world and you want a real life,
Then you got to believe, stand and fight,
Think straight ahead, don't accept their corruption,
What we need is an urban eruption,
CHORUS:
Real world, real world, I know,
Real world, real world alright,
Suss them in mind, suss them in action,
Speak the truth, kill their hate faction,
Guns on the news blow away the blues,
What the fuck you going to do,
I want a real world, I want a real world.
WHAT FOR (1.15)
I'm in it over my head,
I'm in debt, don't care anymore,
Gonna give it what for,
CHORUS:
What for, what for...
Credit card for a lark,
Capital venture, what an adventure,
Plastic money, it ain't funny honey,
O baby, what for,
The interest rates are going up,
I can't afford no mortgage,
And I didn't like the fucking house anyway,
Stuff your mortgage repayments.
10 YEARS ON (4.00)
Unity, no unity,
Love, no love at all,
Reality blows out my brains,
Self determination is what we need,
Hate, do you feel hate,
Murder, backs to the wall,
Law, violate your laws,
Police corruption, whats the fucking use,
R.U.C. coming down on me,
Holding me on P.T.A.,
R.U.C. coming down on me,
I remember 10 men dead,
Terrorist, it's the S.A.S.,
Intimidation, pretty intense,
Death on Irish streets,
Surely its time we saw the truth,
S.A.S. coming down on me,
Holding me on P.T.A.,
S.A.S. coming down on me,
I remember 10 men dead,
Freedom, not on the agenda,
Menace, to society,
Burn, burn that flag,
Can you see the Irish chains behind the Union Jack,
I can,
I remember BOBBY SANDS,
I remember FRANCIS HUGHES,
I remember RAY McCREESH,
I remember TOM McELWEE,
I remember PATSY O'HARA,
I remember KEVIN LYNCH,
I remember JOE McDONNELL,
I remember KIERAN DOHERTY,
I remember MARTIN HURSON,
I remember MICKEY DEVINE,
I remember BOBBY SANDS,
I remember 10 men dead.
