Plastic Bullets The Wolfe Tones

So you divided up my land
Six counties stayed in England's hand
And 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 eyes
You took those young lads by surprise
The way you shot them down
That day in Derry town
