Men Behind The Wire Lyrics - Singles - Wolfe Tones

Armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed to take away our sons! 

but every man must stand behind 

the men behind the wire 

armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed 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 a-running 

wrecking little homes with scorn 

hear the sobs of crying children 

dragging fathers from their bed 

watch the scene as helpless mother 

watch the blood fall from their heads 

armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed to take away our sons 

but every man must stand behind 

stand behind the wire 

not for them a judge or jury, 

or indeed a crime at all 

being irish means they're guilty 

so they'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 

Armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed to take away our sons 

but every man must stand behind 

the men behind the wire 

Armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed 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 

come the people step together 

proudly march on your way 

never fear and never falter 

till the boys come home to stay 

armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed to take away our sons 

but every man must stand behind 

the men behind the wire 

armored cars and tanks and guns 

aimed to take away our sons 

but every man must stand behind 

the men behind the wire.
