Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster lyrics

rate me

Nothin' for us in Belfast

The Pound so old it's a pity

OK, there's the Trident in Bangor

Then walk back to the city

We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care

They don't even know you know

Just want our money

And we can take it or leave it

What we need is

(Chorus)

An Alternative Ulster

Grab it change it it's yours

Get an Alternative Ulster

Ignore the bores and their laws

Get an Alternative Ulster

Be an anti-security force

Alter your native Ulster

Alter your native land

Take a look where you're livin'

You got the Army on your street

And the RUC dog of repression

Is barking at your feet

Is this the kind of place you wanna live?

Is this were you wanna be?

Is this the only life we're gonna have?

What we need is

(Chorus)

They say they're a part of you

But that's not true you know

They say they've got control of you

And that's a lie you know

They say you will never be

Free free free

Get an Alternative Ulster

Get an Alternative Ulster

Get an Alternative Ulster
