Lyrics
There's nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound's old and that's a pity
Okay, there's the Trident in Bangor
And then you walk back to the city
We ain't got nothin', but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
They just want money
We can take it or leave it
What we need
Is an alternative Ulster?
Grab it and change it, it's yours
Get an alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores and their laws
Get an alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land
Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on the street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this where you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have
What we need?
Is an alternative Ulster?
Grab it and change it, it's yours
Get an alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores and their laws
Get an alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land
And they say they're a part of you
And that's not true, you know
They say they've got control of you
And that's a lie, you know
They say you will never be free
Free
Free
Alternative Ulster

Alternative Ulster
Oh, you've done it now
