Songtext von 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 it's 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.
