Lyrics
:
"This next song's about Ireland It's called Across The Broder" Across the Irish border And hidden in a car There's guns and ammunition That were smuggled to Armagh Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out And they let them march and let them shout Kill it shoot it down (And if you) Bum it to the ground Kill it light the fuse What's the point and what's the use Now Mr. Ian Paisleys marching From Ireland to 'L.A.' He's checking out your sympathy And guns for U.D.A. Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out And they let them march and let them shout Kill it shoot it down (I'm gonna) Bum it to the ground Kill it light the fuse What's the point & what's the use "Guitar" Now all the letter bombs are posted And the booby traps are laid And the British soldiers marching They're marching to their graves Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out - And they let them march And let them shout. Kill it shoot it down (Gonna) Bum it to the ground Kill it light the fuse What's the point & what's the use Kill it shoot it down Bum it to the ground Kill it light the fuse There ain't no point because there ain't no use
