- Cap In Hand
I could tell the meaning
of a word like sereneI got some
’o’ grades when I was
sixteenI can tell the difference
between magarine and
butterI can say saskatchewan without
starting to stutterBut
I can’t understand why we let
someone else rule our
landWe’re cap in handI
could get a broken jaw
from being in a fightI know it’s
evening when day turns
to nightI can understand why
stranraer lie so lowlyThey
could save a lot of points by
signing hibs goalieBut
I can’t understand why we let
someone else rule our
landWe’re cap in handWe
fight - when they ask
usWe boast - then we cowerWe
begFor a piece ofWhats
already oursOnce
I thought I could make
God a bribeSo I said I was in his
lost tribeGetting handouts
can be so frustratingGet
in line son, there’s
five million waitingI can’t
understand why you let
someone else rule your landYou’re
cap in hand.
