Lyrics
In aid of men like Connolly, Mellows, and McCann
Who fought and died and tried to drive the tyrants from this land
Young and old side fighting day to day
They're the army of the people the Official IRA
And they've learned what history
has taught them, the errors of the past
They know that freedom doesn't mean a green flag from the mast
Free Staters call us traitors and at every chance they betray
The army of the people the Official IRA
And the war they wage is not a war of bigotry or greed
Their struggle is a worker's one so every man might lead
A life with rights and liberty in a land where he can say
Up the army of the people the Official IRA
Beware the risen people who know that they're going to win
Goulding and Magillan will be with us until then
So if you want an Ireland that's socialist and free
Join the army of the people the Official IRA
