[Intro]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Verse]
Oh, I have been a Provo for fifteen years or more,
With Armalites and mortar bombs, I thought I knew the score,
Now we have a weapon, we've never used before,
The Brits are looking worried and their choppers are flying lower.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Ooh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Verse]
I started out with petrol bombs, throwing bricks and stones,
With a hundred more lads like me, I never was alone,
Soon I learned that bricks and stones won't drive the Brits away,
It wasn't very long before, (Who did I join?), I joined the IRA.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Ooh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Verse]
Oh, then there came internment, in the year of '71,
Oh, the Brits thought we were beaten, that we were on the run,
On that early August morning, they kicked in our back door,
But for every man they took away, they missed a hundred more.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Singing, oh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Verse]
I spent eight years in the cages, I had time to think and plan,
Well although they locked away a boy, I walked out a man,
There's only one thing that I learned while in a cell I lay,
The Brits will never leave us, until they're blown away.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Ooh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Verse]
All through the days of hunger strike I watched my comrades die,
While in the streets of Belfast, you could hear the women cry,
I can't forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall,
I salute my fallen comrades as I watch their choppers fall.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Singing, oh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Chorus]
Oh, tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Singing, oh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá, sing up the RA,
Ooh, ah, up the RA! Ooh, ah, up the RA!
SAM missiles in the sky.
