Khaki Clothes and Army Boots

Khaki Clothes ad Army Boots May 1, 2016 Khaki clothes and army boots kill the people on our street The enemy came, they found out soon, Irish freedom no defeat Go home to England, leave our land, take the planters with you There is no welcome for you here in our country of thirty two With the empires might you are selective, they picked you for their fight Killing Irish people as you creep the streets at night Give a kid of sixteen years a gun to fight your war Sign your name on the dotted line, see the world for sure A product of England's failure will fail again for sure On an Irish street you will face defeat, If you're lucky you'll go home If your not you may say goodbye on an Irish street alone The promise of new lands and sunshine, welcome to Ireland's shore No golden sands, no beaches, you've been sold a dream for sure Go home before it's over, Go home to England's shore We all make mistakes in life, you've made one for sure Take your Khaki clothes and army boots, return them to your boss They may have sentenced you to death and they never gave a toss Khaki clothes and army boots, kill the people on our streets The enemy came, they found out soon, Irish freedom no defeat Gerrard McGeachy
