| My name is Bobby Sands MP | |
| Born in the city of Belfast | |
| Divided by religion I grew up fast | |
| I was stabbed and I was spat upon | |
| My family run out of its home | |
| There was only one solution | |
| Turn the whole system upside down | |
| But the system had other ideas | |
| I got lifted for carryin' a gun | |
| In a trial without a jury | |
| I got fourteen years from the judge | |
| Screws beat me regularly | |
| But they couldn't break me because | |
| I had the love of my comrades | |
| And a burnin' faith in my cause | |
| Still I left a girl outside pregnant | |
| Married her while on remand | |
| Now I got a son and a pain in my heart | |
| When he doesn't recognize his old man | |
| Your soul's on ice oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| But they can't stop the desire | |
| To break on out oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| When your heart is on fire | |
| We wouldn't wear their convict clothes | |
| So they stripped us to the bone | |
| Threw in some threadbare blankets | |
| And when they jeered us about our nakedness | |
| As we slopped out down the halls | |
| We wouldn't come out of their prison cells | |
| We smeared shit on their prison walls | |
| Stuck in an eight foot concrete box | |
| With a Bible, a mattress | |
| And the threat of violence everyday | |
| Can I make it through these fourteen years? | |
| Will my son remember my face? | |
| I don't blame her for the separation | |
| But for Christ's sake let him keep his name | |
| Your soul's on ice oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| But they can't stop the desire | |
| To break on out oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| When your heart is on fire | |
| Five simple things we ask of them | |
| Five simple things denied | |
| But Thatcher, will not compromise | |
| I ask my Mother's permission | |
| To finally break her heart | |
| We have come to a decision, hunger strike | |
| Three comrades starve behind me | |
| I pray to God that my | |
| Death will lead to compromise | |
| I can no longer see your face | |
| My bones break through my skin | |
| I'm goin' back to Belfast City | |
| You can't cage my spirit in | |
| Your soul's on ice oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| But they can't stop the desire | |
| To break on out oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| When your heart is on fire | |
| Your soul's on ice oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| But they can't stop the desire | |
| To break on out oh, oh, oh, oh | |
| When your heart is on fire |
