My Country

Tell all the people who believe what they read in the press
 Tell all the folk who stare from behind suburban walls
 The enemy is not some nation far across the sea
 The enemy is with us every single breathing day
 Ch: So yes, I will fight for my country
 The land that I love so well
 Yes - for justice, a land fit for all our futures
 Yes, I will fight for my country
 The land that I love so well
 Hear the voices of our history echo all around
 Fight all the ones who divide us rich against poor
 Fight all the ones who divide us white against black
 Fight all the powers who want their missiles in our earth
 Fight all the people who would lead us into war
 Ch
 No rights were ever given to us by the grace of God
 No rights were ever given by some United Nations clause
 No rights were ever given by some nice guy at the top
 Our rights they were bought by all the blood
 And all the tears of all our
 Grandmothers, grandfathers before
 For all the folk who gave their lives for us
 For all the folk who spit out - never say die
 For all the fires burning on our highest hills
 For all the people spinning tales tonight
 Fight all the powers who would abuse our Common Laws
 Fight all the powers who think they only owe themselves . . .
 Ch
