Take The Shortest Way With The Men Of Violence - McCarthy

When the men of violence can’t get their way

When their arguments cut the wise

They reach for the gun to see what brute force can do

When their persuasion has failed

These sinister and secret men

Let’s let them know that we’ve had enough

Of them

Let’s let them know

We have seen through their lies

We’ve had enough of them

Ruining decent people’s lives

In the interests of the minority

They wreck the lives of the majority

Let’s let them know (down with the police)

We have seen through their lies (down with the R.U.C.)

We’ve had enough of them (down with the army)

Ruining decent people’s lives

In the interests of the minority

They wreck the lives of the majority

Let’s let them know (down with the police)

We have seen through their lies (down with the R.U.C.)

We’ve had enough of them (down with the S.A.S.)

Ruining decent people’s lives
