Across the Border - The Alarm

This next song’s about Ireland

It’s called Across The Broder

Across the Irish border

And hidden in a car

There’s guns and ammunition

That were smuggled to Armagh

Well that’s not right — and they should stop the fight

And they should sort it out

And they let them march and let them shout

Kill it shoot it down

(And if you) Bum it to the ground

Kill it light the fuse

What’s the point and what’s the use

Now Mr. Ian Paisleys marching

From Ireland to 'L.A.'

He’s checking out your sympathy

And guns for U.D.A.

Well that’s not right — and they should stop the fight

And they should sort it out

And they let them march and let them shout

Kill it shoot it down

(I'm gonna) Bum it to the ground

Kill it light the fuse

What’s the point &what's the use

Guitar

Now all the letter bombs are posted

And the booby traps are laid

And the British soldiers marching

They’re marching to their graves

Well that’s not right — and they should stop the fight

And they should sort it out —

And they let them march

And let them shout.

Kill it shoot it down

(Gonna) Bum it to the ground

Kill it light the fuse

What’s the point &what's the use

Kill it shoot it down

Bum it to the ground

Kill it light the fuse

There ain’t no point because there ain’t no use
