Alternative Ulster (2002 Remastered Version) Lyrics

There's nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound's old, and that's a pity
OK, so there's the Trident in Bangor
And then you 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 needIs 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 landTake a look where you're livin'
You got the army on the street
And the R-U-C dog of repression
Is barking at your feet

Is this the kind of place you want to live?
Is this where you want to be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we needIs 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 landThey say they're a part of you
And 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, freeAlternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
Alternative UlsterOh, you've done it now!
