[Verse]
Belfast streets I've heard it said,
"They're shooting little children dead,
Taking lives hardly begun,
With plastic bullets from their guns."

[Chorus]
We won't be kept down easily,
We will not be still,
We won't be kept down easily,
After all you maimed and killed.

[Verse]
Young Carol Ann, 12 years of age,
Shot down by Brits in bloody rage,
Wee Julie Livingstone as well,
Fell victim to their, plastic hell.

[Chorus]
We won't be kept down easily,
We will not be still,
We won't not be kept down easily,
After all you maimed and killed.

[Verse]
Tried to drag us from our streets,
By taking lives so young and sweet,
Do they not know, we won't be beat,
Their violence is their own defeat.

[Chorus]
We won't be kept down easily,
We will not be still,
We won't not be kept down easily,
After all you maimed and killed.

[Verse]
They try to make us toe the lines,
By using every type of crime,
But freedom won't be terrorised,
Our freedom struggles criminalised.

[Chorus]
We won't be kept down easily,
We will not be still,
We won't not be kept down easily,
After all you maimed and killed.

[Chorus]
We won't be kept down easily,
We will not be still,
We won't not be kept down easily,
After all you maimed and killed.

[Chorus]
We won't be kept down easily,
We will not be still,
We won't not be kept down easily,
After all you maimed and killed.

[Outro]
Belfast streets I've heard it said,
"They're shooting little children dead.".
