Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots
He walked liked no man on earth
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no name

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down & make the stand.

As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met Doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying Shall I play the funeral march" (play the march)
"Play the funeral march"

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down & we'll make the stand.

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, we'll make the stand.

When I looked out the window
On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence With hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross,
It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)
It had no epitaph engraved.

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on and make the stand

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, & we'll make the stand.

Across the Irish border
Hidden in a car
And there's Guns and ammunition
That were smuggled from Armagh

Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight
And they should sort it out
And they let them march and let them shout

Kill it shoot it down
(And if you) Bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
What's the point, oh what's the use

Kill it shoot it down
(And if you) Bum it to the ground
(And you) Kill it light the fuse
There ain't no point and there ain't no use

Now Mr. Ian Paisleys marching
From Ireland to 'L.A.'
Now he's looking for your sympathy
And guns for the U.D.A.

Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight
And they should sort it out
And they let them march and let them shout

Kill it shoot it down
(And if you) Bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
What's the point & what's the use

Kill it shoot it down
(And if you) Bum it to the ground
(And you) Kill it light the fuse
There ain't no point and there ain't no use

(What about the guns)
(What abour the guns)

Well now the letter bombs are posted
And the booby traps are laid
And the British soldiers marching
They're marching to their graves

Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight
And they should sort it out - and they let them march
And let them shout.

Kill it shoot it down
(And if you) Bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
What's the point & what's the use

Kill it shoot it down
(And if you) Bum it to the ground
Kill it light the fuse
There ain't no point and there ain't no use

There’s a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can’t control his anger
You can see it in his eyes
He’s gonna smash your window
He’s gonna tear down the walls
Hey mister you don’t understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes

These are the kids they’re powerless
So you tell them so
These are the kids they’re powerful
Don’t say you haven’t been told

And we’ll go Marching On
Hear our sound hear our voice
We’re growing stronger
And we’ll go Marching On
We’re not alone but we're keeping on
Marching On

Take a walk round your city walls
Before they all fall down (tumbling down)
Take a walk down any street
You’re gonna feel the stares of us all
Can you feel it burning?
Shame is what it’s called
Just look at what you have created
And think of all the people that hate you
These are the people that made you
When you said you cared for us all
These are the people who’ll break you
Get prepared for the fall

And we’ll go Marching On
Hear our sound hear our voice
We’re growing stronger
And we’ll go Marching On
We’re not alone while we're going Marching On

We’re the young who stand up
We must never be silenced
We’ve gotta speak up now
For all our sakes
Let's lift our voices higher
Let’s sing our son
Keep on marching marching
And never forget
About the power on the right side
Fights the power on the left
We have got to stand together
Forget the east and west

Oh there's another voice crying in the ghetto
Another mouth to feed
Another heart beating in the ghetto
Another soul to set free

And we’ll go Marching On
Hear our sound hear our voice
We’re growing stronger
And we’ll go marching on
We’re not alone, keeping on
We go marching on

Keep on marching, marching, marching on
We must never be silenced
Marching, marching, marching on
Lift your voices higher
Marching, marching, marching on
Sing out, sing out
Marching, marching, marching on
Lift up lift up your voices
Marching, marching, marching on
Sing this song
Marching, marching, marching on
'Cause our hearts must have the courage to keep on marching on.

Too young to care too old to fight
Ain't bothered about your life
Drop out far out don't go to school
Get out while the going's good
Sign up for the dole dig a hole
For your bone and moan ain't got any cash
Hedonistic man with your can
And your head of sand
Take the lie of the land

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never let the fires die
Take the LIE OF THE LAND

Today don't wait don't hesitate
Get out there join a march
Join hands make plans and take a chance
On the right hand side of the road
Avoid the gang of the man named Vicious Henry
And his friend called Billy Whizz
Don't stay in the dark where the sharks
Will rip you off they're gonna tear you apart

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never let the fires die
Take the LIE OF THE LAND

(we ain't lying)

And at home you're alone You're the people
That your parents warned you about
And all your walls are adomed with protest
And you always quote the.........

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never let the fires die
Take the LIE OF THE LAND.

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE
And never forget that if the fires die.
There'd be no lie to the land
Take the lie of the land

(Take the lie of the land)
Take the lie of the land
Take a lie
Take a lie
Take a lie
Take a lie of the land

Take this song of freedom
Put it on & arm yourself for the fight
Don't let them blind your eyes now
Or listen to the devil liar

Feelings growing getting stronger
But even now my hands are tied
I feel restricted I can't cut loose This ball and chain that's round my neck

What can I say that's not been said before
Until there's a better way i'm gonna stay

So gather round you people to me
And listen now to what I say

Sticks and stones will get us nowhere
There's nineteen years yet we still don't know

What have we learnt is this all we can show
There must be a better way to end the day

We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.

We're the nation of many colours
But everybody's blood runs red

Cut our wrists and bind together
Too much blood has been spilt in hate

Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes FOR FREEDOM.

We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.

Do it now for your children 'cause their lives are yet to come
Do it now for you own sakes FOR FREEDOM.

We've got to stand now and push on through to the other side
We must not blind our eyes
Or listen to the devil liar.
