lyrics

The Government were reeling
At assaults from all the press
Their law and order policies
Were just a dismal mess
So as a last resort
Although it had always been planned
They tried out some ideas
Over in Northern Ireland

Beware if you’re recalcitrant
Beware if you are poor
Those in The Queen’s mafia
Will soon be above the law

Depending on your age
They may look little more than boys
But the weapons that they carry
Are anything but toys
If you don’t obey orders
They can fill you full of lead
Opposition’s not repeated
When the dissidents lie dead

Beware if you’re recalcitrant
Beware if you are poor
Those in The Queen’s mafia
Will soon be above the law

Over on the mainland
We’re awaiting with a chill
Implementation of armed police
With orders of “Shoot to kill”
They’ll decimate the poor estates
The homeless will be gone
The unemployed and travellers
Will be historical icons

Beware if you’re recalcitrant
Beware if you are poor
Those in The Queen’s mafia
Will soon be above the law
