What a Welcome to Get, They Don't Want One Hundred Thousand |
|
|
The anti Romany activities of local thugs hid a darker truth of deep rooted ethnic hatreds in Ulster, except this time the victims were not Irish and Catholic, but even all the more different... |
What a welcome to get, they don't want a hundred thousand
In a land they thought they'd be equal and free
They found to be worse than the homeland they left
And puzzled we ask how this can be...
How can the acts of mere teenagers
Force 100 families their homes to leave
That powerful aramilitaries could not do in times past
The facts are there but hard to believe...
We thought we had left his behind us
Maybe for Catholics this is now the past
The new blacks of Ulster are actually coloured
Got in his mercy be kind to them in Belfast
