Plastic Bullets (2004 version)

Brian Warfield

So you divided up my land
Six counties stayed in England's hand
So you take my home
But you cannot take my mind
Then you tried to keep me down
With your tanks and guns in my streets and towns
And you shoot your plastic bullets
To keep your plastic state

[Chorus]
In Ireland's troubled land
Each decade brings its rebel band
And forces of the crown
They try to bring them down
But the flowers will bloom again
And the people, they will rise again
And then you shot him down
So all the world could see

Does it matter how you kill
You make the rules, it is your will
With lead or plastic bullets
To kill, it's all the same
Oh, I could not believe my еyes
You took those young lads by surprise
Thе way you shot them down
That day in Derry town

[Chorus]
In Ireland's troubled land
Each decade brings its rebel band
And forces of the crown
They try to bring them down
But the flowers will bloom again
And the people, they will rise again
And then you shot him down
So all the world could see

Oh, some justice we did seek
A place for all to live in peace
An island in the sea
Where people could be free
But you cannot be proud
The way you shot him to that ground
A nightmare, you shot them down
That night in Belfast town

[Chorus]
In Ireland's troubled land
Each decade brings its rebel band
And forces of the crown
They try to bring them down
But the flowers will bloom again
And the people, they will rise again
And then you shot him down
So all the world could see

Then shoot me, shoot me down
Because I make my colours known
And I heard the mercy cry
Where people in fear do lie
In anger, then, he ran
With the banner stick all in his hand
And then you shot him down
And all the world could see

[Chorus]
In Ireland's troubled land
Each decade brings its rebel band
And forces of the crown
They try to bring them down
But the flowers will bloom again
And the people, they will rise again
And then you shot him down
So all the world could see

The day you shot Seán Downes
That day in Belfast town
