The Guilford 4

Behind those English prison walls
The innocent and tortured called
They called for justice and for peace
And the 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 surely was
For they've suffered now for far too long
And with no evidence, no proof
Of what you say the guilty of

But to me, it is a crime, a shame
How you've 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've robbed them of their freedom
And you jailed them without crime
You denied them of their liberty
You stole away their time

You stole their precious gift of time
To me, it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guildford Four
You can't hold them anymore

Our 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
