The Men Behind the Wire

Paddy McGuigan

[Chorus]
Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man must stand behind
The men behind the wire

Through 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 mothers
Watch the blood fall from their head

[Chorus]
Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man must stand behind
The men behind the wire

Not for them a judge and jury
Or indeed a crime at all
But being Irish means they're guilty
So we'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

[Chorus]
Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came 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

On the people, step together
Proudly marching on your way
Never feared never faltered
Till the boys come home to stay

[Chorus]
Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man must stand behind
The men behind the wire

Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man must stand behind
The men behind the wire
