The Wolfe Tones – Plastic Bullets

The Wolfe Tones – Plastic Bullets Lyrics

Artist: The Wolfe Tones
Song: Plastic Bullets

So you divided up my land
Six counties stayed in England’s hand
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 еyes
You took those young lads by surprise
Thе way you shot them down

That day in Derry town
〈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
Oh, some justice we did seek
A place for all to live in peace

An island in the sea
Where people could be free
But you cannot be proud
The way you shot him to that ground

A nightmare, you shot them down
That night in Belfast town
〈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
Then shoot me, shoot me down

Because I make my colours known
And I heard the mercy cry
Where people in fear do lie
In anger, then, he ran

With the banner stick all in his hand
And then you shot him down
And all the world could see
〈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

The day you shot Seán Downes
That day in Belfast town
