Loyal to What?

Belfast is in flames again - we hoped we'd seen the last
But there are those who keep on dragging things back into the past
They say that it's "traditional", but I don't want to know
Because some traditions are full of shit and it's time for them to go
You're loyal to who? To people who are not like you?
You're loyal to what? To a land that time forgot?
Belfast is in flames again because some people insist
That the role for the authorities should be that of antagonist
Thrusting flags and opinions in the face of those who don't agree
And glorying in the memory of an ancient victory
So, you want to remain part of the UK?
Well, that's fair enough, but do you think that on the mainland
We identify with this stuff?
The country you want to be part of no longer exists today
The role you're wanting of it's one it doesn't want to play
