Just seen the soldiers on patrol in Derry What they thinking? Bet they wish they could stay at home Go out drinking in the evening Just seen the newsprint tonight Violence increasing, an explosion Suddenly a public house went off bang Foul play suspected, someone's cheating Surely you see at the top of the stairs A young mother cries Convinced that her husband lies bleeding, defying While 13 more died See how her eyes glow She's going insane And you tell me enquiries will show Whose to blame But next Sunday at 2, will happen again, again. So you think you can get away Go down to Brighton for a season Discuss the issues from day to day Looking for reasons on paper Surely you see at the side of the road What looks like a bomb Shoppers with children lie bleeding and dying But what have they done See how our eyes glow We're going insane And you tell me enquiries will show Whose to blame But Maudling, you fool, it will happen again, again
