Then
, , | , x4
There's nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound's so old it's a pity
OK, there's the trident in Bangor
And then walk back to the city
We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
They just want money
We can take it or leave it
What we need is
An Alternative Ulster
Grab it and change it, it's yours
Get an Alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores and their laws
Get an Alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land
, , , x2
Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on your street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this where you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we need is
Chorus As per Chorus 1
They say they're a part of you
But that's not true you know
They say they've got control of you
And that's a lie you know
They say you will never be
Free, free, free
Just like the intro
Get an
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
