作曲 : McGuigan 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 In the little streets of Belfast In the dark of early morn British soldiers came marauding Wrecking little homes with scorn Hear the sobs of the crying children Dragging fathers from their beds Watch the scene as helpless mothers Watch the blood fall from their heads 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 Not for them a judge and jury Or indeed a trial at all But being Irish means you'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 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 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 their way Never fear or never falter Till the boys come home to stay 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
