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

[Verse]
One, two, three, four,
I have been a Provo now for fifteen years or more,
Of Armalite and mortar bombs, thought I knew the score,
Now we've got a weapon, that we've never used before,
Brits are looking worried and they're going to worry more.

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

[Verse]
I started out with petrol bombs and throwing sticks and stones,
There's a hundred lads more like me but I never was alone,
Soon I learned that sticks 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 missile in the sky.

[Verse]
And then there came internment, in the year of '71,
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, (How many did they miss?), sure they missed a hundred more, with more to go.

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

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

[Verse]
And I spent eight years in the cages, I had time to think and plan,
Although they locked away a boy, I walked out a man,
There's only one thing that I've learned while in a cell I lay,
The Brits will never leave us, (Until when?), not until they're blown to fuck, they're blown to fuck.

[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,
And in the streets of Belfast, you'll could hear the women cry,
Can't forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall,
I salute my fallen comrades as I watch the bastards fall.

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