Cap in hand

Proclaimers
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.
