Cap In Hand 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 We're 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 We're 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 You're cap in hand.
