I could tell the meaning of a word like serene I got some 'O' Grades when I was sixteen I can tell the difference between magarine and butter I can say \"Saskatchewan\" without starting to stutter
But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight I know its evening when day turns to night I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly They could save a lot of points by signing Hibs Goalie
But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand
We fight - when they ask us We boast - then we cower We beg For a piece of Whats already ours
Once I thought I could make God a bribe So I said I was in his lost tribe Getting handouts can be so frustrating \"Get in line son, there's five million waiting\"
I can't understand why you let someone else rule your land, cap in hand I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand I can't understand why you let someone else rule your land, cap in hand
