lirik lagu francie brolly - the h-block song

[verse 1]
i am a proud young irishman
in ulster’s hills my life began
a happy boy through green fields ran
and i kept god’s and man’s laws
but when my age was barely ten
my country’s wrongs were told again
by tens of thousands marching men
and my heart stirred to their cause

[chorus]
so i’ll wear no convict’s uniform
nor meekly serve my time
that britain might brand ireland’s fight
eight hundred years of crime

[verse 2]
i learned of centuries of strife
of cruel laws, injustice rife
and i saw now in my own young life
the fruits of foreign sway
protesters threatened, tortured, maimеd
division nurtured, passions flamed
outrage provokеd, rights cause defamed
this is the conqueror’s ways
[chorus]
i’ll wear no convict’s uniform
nor meekly serve my time
that britain might brand ireland’s fight
eight hundred years of crime

[verse 3]
descendants of proud connaught clan
concannon serves cruel britain’s plan
man’s inhumanity to man
has sp~wned a trusty slave
no strangers are these bolts and locks
no new design, these dark h~blocks
black cromwell lives while mason stalks
the bully taunts the brave

[chorus]
but i’ll wear no convict’s uniform
nor meekly serve my time
that britain might brand ireland’s fight
eight hundred years of crime

[verse 4]
does britain need a thousand years
of protest, riots, death and tears?
or will this last decade of fears
of eighty decades spell
an end to ireland’s agony
new hope for human dignity
and will the last obscenity
be this grim h~block cell?
[chorus]
but i’ll wear no convict’s uniform
nor meekly serve my time
that britain might brand ireland’s fight
eight hundred years of crime
