Artist/Band: Paul McCartney
Lyrics for Song: Give Ireland Back To The Irish
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Paul McCartney



Give Ireland back to the Irish

Don't make them have to take it away

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Make Ireland Irish today



Great Britain, you are tremendous

And nobody knows like me

But really, what are we doing?

In the land across the sea



Tell me, how would you like it?

If on your way to work

You were stopped by Irish soldiers

Would you lie down, do nothing?



Would you give in?

Go berserk

Give Ireland back



Great Britain and all the people

Said that people must be free

And meanwhile, back in Ireland

There's a man who looks like me



And he dreams of God and country

And he's feeling really down

And he's sitting in a prison

Say



Should he lie down, do nothing?

Should he behave like a man?

Give Ireland back


Give Ireland Back To The Irish

Released in 1984, this single by Paul McCartney serves as a poignant musical commentary on the political landscape of Northern Ireland during the Troubles. The recording features McCartney's signature melodic sensibility blended with a driving rhythm section that underscores the song's urgent message regarding the conflict between Catholics and Protestants. While the track was not included on his major studio albums, it stands as a significant piece of his discography, reflecting his deep engagement with contemporary social issues. The song's enduring popularity highlights McCartney's ability to address complex geopolitical tensions through accessible pop music, cementing his role as a cultural voice for peace and reconciliation in the region.
