Get these lyrics up ya. ;)

Éire Óg - SAM Song

Well I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more
With armalites and mortorbombs I thought I knew the score
But now we have a weapon, we've never used before
The Brits are looking worried
And they're going to worry more!

Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing Up the 'RA
Ooh ah, up the 'RA
Ooh ah up the 'RA
SAM Missiles in the sky

I started off with petrol bombs and throwing bricks and stones
With a hundred more lads like me, I never was alone
But soon I learned that bricks and stones won't drive the Brits away
It wasn't very long before, who did i join? I joined the IRA!

Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing Up the 'RA
Ooh ah, up the 'RA
Ooh ah up the 'RA
SAM Missiles in the sky

And then there came Internment in the year of '71
The Brits thought we were beaten, thought we were on the run
On that early August morning they kicked in our back door
For every man they took away, How many did they miss? They missed a hundred more!

Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing Up the 'RA
Ooh ah, up the 'RA
Ooh ah up the 'RA
SAM Missiles in the sky

Well I spent eight years in the cages, I had time to think and plan
For though they locked away a boy, I walked out a man
And there's only one thing that I learned while in their cell I lay
The Brits will never leave us, until when? Until they're blown away!

Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing Up the 'RA
Ooh ah, up the 'RA
Ooh ah up the 'RA
SAM Missiles in the sky

All through the days of hunger strike I watched my comrades die
While in the streets of Belfast you could hear the women cry
I can't forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall
I salute my fallen comrades, as I watch their choppers fall

Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing Up the 'RA
Ooh ah, up the 'RA
Ooh ah up the 'RA
SAM Missiles in the sky
