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, 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 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, cap in hand |
| I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand |
| I can’t understand why you let someone else rule your land, cap in hand |
