There's nothin' for us in Belfast
                           
The Pound's so old it's a pity
                               
OK, there's the trident in Bangor
                                
And then 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
            NC
What we need is

[Chorus] 
   **           
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

Instrumental
,  ,  ,    x2

                            
Take a look where you're livin'
                            
You got the Army on your 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?
            NC
What we need is

Chorus As per Chorus 1

                  
  They say they're a part of you
                        
But 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
