In aid of men like Connolly, Barney and McCann,
To fight and die until they drive the British from our lands.
Young and old, side by side, fighting day by day,
They are the Army of the People - the Official IRA.
They are there as 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 them Traitors, and at every chance they Betray
The Army of the People - the Official IRA
There are no ways to stop a war of bigotry or greed
The struggle is a worker's one, so every man might lead,
A life that is his own, 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,
The memory of Connolly will lead us on 'till then,
And if you want an Ireland that's Socialist and Free,
Join the Army of the People - the Official IRA
Join the Army of the People - the Official IRA.
