From the recording Men Like You
Lyrics
MEN LIKE YOU
Music and Lyrics by Rick Cittar,
From The Axis Of Four
Foreign armies on our shore,
Hated presence, making war.
Imperial Power suffers no dissent.
Yet some come forward,
Guns drawn to fight until the end.
They were men like you,
They were men like me,
Gave their lives for cause in the day
Bravely took a stand or their native land
They met their final days in The Maze
Stinking gaol cells hold these boys
They fight oppression, they make no noise
Political protest draws the attention of the earth
They fought with hunger
To free the Green Land of their birth
They were men like you,
They were men like me,
Gave their lives for cause in the day
Bravely took a stand or their native land
They met their final days in The Maze
