Socialist Republic
by Tony O'Doherty

www.saoreire.com/mp3/Socialist%20Republic.mp3

They talk about it here, they talk about it there
They talk of revolution everywhere
So working class unite, and come and join our fight
It's a fight for a Socialist Republic now

You've heard of Fianna Fail, from Cork to Donegal
They still claim to be Republican
But sure there is no doubt that they have sold us out
Let's fight for a Socialist Republic now

You workers must unite, the capitalists we must fight
Exploitation we must end
So stand by your demands, the power's in your hands
Let's fight for a Socialist Republic now

They talk of liberty, Ireland one and Ireland free
The day we will take down the Tri-colour
So stand together now and raise our Starry Plough
It's the flag of the Socialist Republic now

So listen to what I say, come join the IRA (INLA)
Let's fight for the ideals of Connolly
Oh let us agitate, organise and wreck the state
Let's fight for a Socialist Republic now

Capitalism differs from that of slavery and serfdom, in that capitalist domination is not over people, but only over property. But it is a form of property that is only useful if it buys domination over people.

But seeing as he mentions the IRA, starry plough, revolution and socialist republic - its probably before the provo break away - or, maybe its an official song. Hard to tell.

But yeah, they were active in the 60s i think, but there was also an earlier organisation by the same name in the 20s or something.
