In Belfast streets I heard it said
They shoot little children dead
Take a life, that's what they've done
With plastic bullets from their guns
We won't be kept down easy
We will not be still
We won't be kept down easy
After all they maimed and killed
Young Caroline, just twelve years of age
Shot down by Brits in Bloody Bridge
We duly live in stone as well
Fell victim to their plastic pals
We won't be kept down easy
We will not be still
We won't be kept down easy
After all they maimed and killed
They tried to drag us from our streets
Why take a life so young and sweet?
Do they not know we'll not be beat?
Their violence is their own defeat
We won't be kept down easy
We will not be still
We won't be kept down easy
After all they maimed and killed
They tried to make us throw their light
By using every type of crime
But freedom won't be terrorised
Our freedom struggle criminalised
We won't be kept down easy
We will not be still
We won't be kept down easy
After all they maimed and killed
We won't be kept down easy
We will not be still
We won't be kept down easy
After all they maimed and killed
After all they maimed and killed
