Lyrics
I can tell the meaning of a word like serene.
I got some O grades when I was sixteen.
I can tell the difference 'tween margarine 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! Whats already!
Whats already ours!
We fight. When they ask us.
We boast. Then we cower.
We beg. For a piece of.
Whats already! Whats already!
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! Theres five million waiting!"
I can't understand why you let someone else rule your land.
Cap in hand.
No I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
No I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
Cap in hand.
