[Chorus]
There are murderers in Ireland, but they're not of Irish stock
There are terrorists in Ireland, but they serve a foreign law
They will never face a Diplock court or rot in H-Block cells
For murder isn't murder when it serves the Crown so well
On a cold December evening, paid assassins, they did go
To set up a cruel ambush in the fields around Clonoe
Colm McGirr and Brian Campbell unarmed upon thеm came
The ones thеy loved in green Tyrone, they'll never again
[Chorus]
There are murderers in Ireland, but they're not of Irish stock
There are terrorists in Ireland, but they serve a foreign law
They will never face a Diplock court or rot in H-Block cells
For murder isn't murder when it serves the Crown so well
Amid a hail of bullets, they were put down in their prime
Yet there were no banner headlines protesting at this crime
Colm McGirr and Brian Campbell were not afraid to die;
They loved their native country and for freedom gave their lives
[Chorus]
There are murderers in Ireland, but they're not of Irish stock
There are terrorists in Ireland, but they serve a foreign law
They will never face a Diplock court or rot in H-Block cells
For murder isn't murder when it serves the Crown so well
There are murderers in Ireland, but they're not of Irish stock
There are terrorists in Ireland, but they serve a foreign law
They will never face a Diplock court or rot in H-Block cells
For murder isn't murder when it serves the Crown so well
On a cold December evening, paid assassins, they did go
To set up a cruel ambush in the fields around Clonoe
Colm McGirr and Brian Campbell unarmed upon thеm came
The ones thеy loved in green Tyrone, they'll never again
[Chorus]
There are murderers in Ireland, but they're not of Irish stock
There are terrorists in Ireland, but they serve a foreign law
They will never face a Diplock court or rot in H-Block cells
For murder isn't murder when it serves the Crown so well
Amid a hail of bullets, they were put down in their prime
Yet there were no banner headlines protesting at this crime
Colm McGirr and Brian Campbell were not afraid to die;
They loved their native country and for freedom gave their lives
[Chorus]
There are murderers in Ireland, but they're not of Irish stock
There are terrorists in Ireland, but they serve a foreign law
They will never face a Diplock court or rot in H-Block cells
For murder isn't murder when it serves the Crown so well
