[Verse 1]

D A Bm G
There's nothin' for us in Belfast
D A Bm G
The Pound's so old it's a pity
D A Bm G
OK, there's the trident in Bangor
D A Bm G
And then walk back to the city
A G
We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
A
They just want money
G
We can take it or leave it
A N.C.
What we need is

[Chorus]

D** C G
An Alternative Ulster
C G
Grab it and change it, it's yours
D** C G
Get an Alternative Ulster
C G
Ignore the bores and their laws
D** C G
Get an Alternative Ulster
C G
Be an anti-security force
D** C G
Alter your native Ulster
C G D
Alter your native land

[Instrumental]

D, A, Bm, G (x2)

D A Bm G
Take a look where you're livin'
D A Bm G
You got the Army on your street
D A Bm G
And the RUC dog of repression
D A Bm G
Is barking at your feet
A G
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this where you wanna be?
A G
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
A N.C.
What we need is

[Chorus]

(as per chorus 1)

Bm A G
They say they're a part of you
A
But that's not true you know
Bm A G
They say they've got control of you
A
And that's a lie you know
Bm A G
They say you will never be
C G C G C A
Free, free, free

[Instrumental]
