Lyrics

Are you still fighting over that patch of land your father left in your hand?
Fell out with your only brother and your sister too
It’s a humble plot I understand but there’s room enough to hatch a plan, 6 acres, 3 ways, equals 2

But you say, “I farmed the land with daddy
When you left home young paddy
I looked after our sick mother too
For all I’ve done the land is mine, leave our sister out of it this time
You know full well it’s between me and you”

Are you still trying to sell the family house for 5 generations it’s been passed down to the first born boy to carry its legacy
It’ll fetch a lot I know for sure, but the history there’s worth so much more
You’ll knock the nest out of the family tree

But you say, “I am the eldest son, I am the chosen one
I’ll do with the place as I please
Clear on out of my way, it’s too late now it’s in my name
Where there’s a will there’s a war that’s a guarantee"

Guerrilla Warfare In your back garden,
You know that there’s no war ever worth starting
Guerrilla Warfare In you’re back garden
It holds no enemy zones, there’s nothing to gain only lose more than you’ve ever owned

Say if all the worlds land was freed, divided up equally
Would you be happy with your share or would you want more?
Would you build a wall 10 feet tall, to keep all out but your own
To block the light that darkens your door.

But you say, “I am no communist, no Lenin loving pacifist
This land is mine and was made for me
Take your moral higher ground or our bloodline it will be found
As sure as our rivers run free"

Guerrilla Warfare In your back garden,
You know that there’s no war ever worth starting
Guerrilla Warfare In you’re back garden
It holds no enemy zones, there’s nothing to gain only lose more than you’ve ever owned
