Patriot Game

[Verse 1]
Come all ye young rebels and list' while I sing
For the love of one's country is a beautiful thing
It banishes fear with the speed of a flame
And it makes us all part of the Patriot Game

[Verse 2]
My name is O'Hanlon, my age is sixteen
My home is in Monaghan that's where I was weaned
I've learned all my life, cruel England's to blame
And that's why I'm a part of the Patriot Game

[Verse 3]
It's barely two years since I wandered away
With a local battalion of the bold IRA
I'd read of our heroes and wanted the same
To play my own part in the Patriot Game

[Verse 4]
And now as I lie here, my body all holed
I think of the traitors who bargained and sold
And I wish that my rifle had given the same
To those quislings who sold out the Patriot Game

[Verse 5]
Come all ye young rebels and list' while I sing
For the love of one's country is a beautiful thing
It banishes fear with the speed of a flame
And it makes us all part of the Patriot Game
Yes it makes us all part of the Patriot Game
