[Verse 1]
You people of Ireland, upon you I call
We stand in the north, with our backs to the wall
By the foe, we're surrounded, now you must decide
For Margaret Thatcher wants you on her side
You can judge British justice by what's gone before
The Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four
13 men in Derry, in the H-Blocks ten more
Will you let extradition increase Maggie's score?

[Chorus]
Don't hand them over, don't play Thatcher's game
The word extradition should fill you with shame
If you'rе proud to be Irish, then live up to thе name
Don't hand them over to be tortured and framed

[Verse 2]
Don't cry pious tears for the plight of the north
While your troops man the border to support British force
You can't have it both ways, you must make a stand
You can't honor Connolly, then sell out his land
Remember those butchers who struck at Loughgall
Are the very same men who put Pearse 'gainst the wall
There are few enough left to defend Ireland's cause
Will you extradite them to face foul foreign laws
[Chorus]
Don't hand them over, don't play Thatcher's game
The word extradition should fill you with shame
If you're proud to be Irish, then live up to the name
Don't hand them over to be tortured and framed

[Verse 3]
The whole world now knows of Britannia's shame
How brave Seán and Danny in Gibraltar were slain
And young McAnespie on the border shot down
As he innocently walked to his own Gaelic ground
So south of the border, let your voices ring clear
Lest your politicians should turn a deaf ear
It's you who have the power, in your name they stand
It's you who will have Irish blood on your hands

[Chorus]
Don't hand them over, don't play Thatcher's game
The word extradition should fill you with shame
If you're proud to be Irish, then live up to the name
Don't hand them over to be tortured and framed
Don't hand them over, don't play Thatcher's game
The word extradition should fill you with shame
If you're proud to be Irish, then live up to the name
Don't hand them over to be tortured and framed
