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 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, cap in hand
 
 We fight - when they ask us
 We boast - then we cower
 We beg
 For a piece of
 What's 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
