The Home Secretary Briefs the Forces of Law and Order

We don't believe in violence
Those who use guns to kill in cold blood
They deserve all they get
They deserve all they ask for

So when you catch them
Pump them all full of lead
Tear them limb from limb
It will be okay

When you catch them
Pump them all full of lead
Tear them limb from limb
For the law will be on your side

All you Irish mates
We don't hold with torture
Or kidnapping innocent citizens
Unless the police or the SAS do it

So when you catch them
Pump them all full of lead
Tear them limb from limb
It will be okay

When you catch them
Pump them all full of lead
Tear them limb from limb
For the law will be on your side

So when you catch them
Pump them all full of lead
Tear them limb from limb
It will be okay

When you catch them
Pump them all full of lead
Tear them limb from limb
For the law will be on your side

Malcolm:

This is the longest title so far. I always hoped
that people would find these long titles funny. I don't know if they do. This is another song about Ireland.

Home Secretary refers to "the chief United Kingdom government minister responsible for law and order in the United Kingdom; his or her remit includes policing, the criminal justice system, the prison service, internal security, and matters of citizenship and immigration. The Home Office has also previously dealt with social issues, including social exclusion, equality and race relations, but the responsibility for these areas is now held by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister" (from wikipedia).

"Irish mates" is no doubt a reference to the IRA.

SAS is an abbreviation for the Special Air Service: a part of the British Army that has been specially trained for secret or particularly dangerous military activities (from dictionary.cambridge.org).
