Rolling green countryside wind-blown trees
Silent stone markers no one rests in peace

In the name of a Catholic or Protestant God
You slaughter your babies and wonder what's wrong

Chorus
Tell me, oh Ireland land of my people
Why so much anger why so much hate
How could religion turn bombs loose on children
Have you no guilt have you no shame

Boarded-up windows torn down lives
No one can be trusted no one sleeps at night

Gun always by your side defending your faith
You've buried your future in an IRA grave

Chorus

How could religion turn bombs loose on children
Have you no guilt have you no shame
