On the dawning of this next historic moment we are awaiting

A little tongue-in-cheek rebel music:

Everybody, sing!

The Impartial Police Force

If you’re in Andytown or the Creggan we’ll greet you with tiocfaidh ár lá,
Oh we’re nice and polite, by day and by night, we’ll answer to “níl agus tá”?
Don’t mind the machine guns and pistols we wear them now only for show,
And if ever they’re used – Orange men we’ll abuse and we’ll teach them the bigots own lawOh we are the impartial police force, the guardians of Ulster are we,
We’ll protect you Sinn Feiners, yon Fenians and Taigs, we’re known as reformed RUC,
Now some of you Fenians may wonder, what a sudden conversion we had,
On the 12fth of July, a big flash in the sky – we were all drove impartially mad!

Now come all of ye Born Again Christians, oh ye’d better not give any jaw,
For we don’t give a hoot, the plastic we shoot, you’ll feel the long arm of the law,
And all you Sinn Feiners and Councils you’ll get a fair crack from the wand,
And don’t take any crap from those UDR chaps – we’ll teach them what’s right and what’s wrong!

Oh we are the impartial police force, the guardians of Ulster are we,
We’ll protect you Sinn Feiners, yon Fenians and Taigs, we’re known as reformed RUC,
Now some of you Fenians may wonder, what a sudden conversion we had,
On the 12fth of July, a big flash in the sky – we were all drove impartially mad!

There are some of our members now walking the roads in South County Armagh,
And sure up in the glens we’re all making friends – on the tricolour now there’s no bar,
Now some go unconscious for hours and then they go into a daze
Well they walk to the maze and they open the cage and release all the Prisoners Of War!

Oh we are the impartial police force, the guardians of Ulster are we,
We’ll protect you Sinn Feiners, yon Fenians and Taigs, we’re known as reformed RUC,
Now some of you Fenians may wonder, what a sudden conversion we had,
On the 12fth of July, a big flash in the sky – we were all drove impartially mad!

Now we’ve lots of friends down in Dublin – no pals of the Loyalists are we,
Oh never again will we shoot Fenian men, with Papists we’ll sit down to tea,
We’re just like the Garda in Dublin or the coppers in New York you see,
Oh we’re Herman’s brigade and we’re all well behaved – the impartial police force are we!

Oh we are the impartial police force, the guardians of Ulster are we,
We’ll protect you Sinn Feiners, yon Fenians and Taigs, we’re known as reformed RUC,
Now some of you Fenians may wonder, what a sudden conversion we had,
On the 12fth of July, a big flash in the sky – we were all drove impartially mad!
