Wolfe Tones - Men Behind The Wire lyrics

Armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons! but every man must stand behind the men behind the wire armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons but every man must stand behind the men behind the wire In the little streets of belfast in the dark of early morn British soldiers came a-running wrecking little homes with scorn hear the sobs of crying children dragging fathers from their bed watch the scene as helpless mother watch the blood fall from their heads armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons but every man must stand behind stand behind the wire not for them a judge or jury, or indeed a crime at all being irish means they're guilty so they're guilty one and all round the world the truth will echo cromwell's men are here again england's name again is sullied in the eyes of honest men Armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons but every man must stand behind the men behind the wire Armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons but every man must stand behind the men behind the wire proudly march behind our banner proudly march behind our men we will have them free to help us build a nation once again come the people step together proudly march on your way never fear and never falter till the boys come home to stay armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons but every man must stand behind the men behind the wire armored cars and tanks and guns aimed to take away our sons but every man must stand behind the men behind the wire.
