Willie McRae lyrics

Willie was a fighter, Willie was no fool Willie fought to end Westminster rule Rule by scum who thought it would be best To use the Highlands for atomic bomb test Willie McRae Willie McRae Willie McRae Plans to use Scotland as a nuclear dump site Willie said, "Resist! Stand up and fight!" He tried to save our children from a toxic fate So Willie was murdered by the nuclear state Willie McRae Willie McRae Willie McRae Secret police shot Willie in the head Another Hilda Murrell, another activist dead For anti-nuclear protest in this "land of the free" For saying, "Alba out of G.B.!" Willie McRae Willie McRae Willie McRae No right to free speech, no right to protest Remember Karen Silkwood and Chico Mendes And countless others killed for what they had to say We owe it to them to keep on fighting today
