Lyrics:

Behind those English prison walls
The innocent and tortured call
They call for justice and for peace
And?a?chance to live?again
For in their dark and lonely?cell
There's no justice, there's no freedom bell
For those Irish men and women there
Imprisoned without crime

So free the people, let them go
You can't hold them anymore
But remember, too, it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls
By the laws of God, it's surely wrong
For they've suffered now for far too long
And with no evidence, no proof
Of what you say they're guilty of
But to me it is a crime, a shame
How you treated them was all a game
But the howling winds of justice will
Cry out to free their names

So free the people, let them go
You can't hold them anymore
But remember, too, it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls

You took away the sunshine
And you took away the rain
You stole away those youthful years
They'll never see again
You robbed them of their freedom
And you jailed them without crime
You deny them of their liberty
You stole away their time
You stole the precious gift of time
To me, it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guildford Four
You can't hold them anymore
Or like the six in Birmingham
And the many others jailed and damned
Release them now and let them go
And justice will be done

So free the people, let them go
You can't hold them anymore
And remember too, it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls

So free the people, let them go
You can't hold them anymore
And remember, too, it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls
