We Shall Not Be Moved Lyrics

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved

[Refrain]
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside
We shall not be moved

[Verse 1]
One man, one vote
We shall not be moved
An end to Special Powers
We shall not be moved

[Refrain]
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside
We shall not be moved

[Verse 2]
No discrimination
We shall not be moved
We want more jobs and houses
We shall not be moved

[Refrain]
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside
We shall not be moved

[Verse 3]
An end to exploitation
We shall not be moved
Ireland for the Irish
We shall not be moved

[Refrain]
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside
We shall not be moved

[Verse 4]
Our cause will be triumphant
We shall not be moved
We're on our way to victory
We shall not be moved

[Refrain]
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved

Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside
We shall not be moved
