Il testo della 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 margarine 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, what's, what's already
What's, what's already ours

We fight when they ask us
We boast, then we cower
We beg for a piece of
What's already, what's, what's already
What's, 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
No, i can't understand why we let someone else rule our land
Cap in hand, cap in hand
No, i can't understand why you let someone else rule your land
Cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand
