Lyrics:

Behind those English prison walls

So innocent and tortured all

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

in prison 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 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 a crime

You denied them of, their liberty and

You stole away their time



You stole the precious gift of time,

To me it is the greatest crime

So you must free the Guilford Four

You can't hold them any more

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

But 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

But remember too it could be me or you

Behind those prison walls
