Proclaimers cap in hand by the proclaimers lyrics

I could tell the meaning of a world like serene



I got some "0" grades when I was sixteen



I can tell the difference 'tween margarine and butter



I can say "Saskatchewan" without starting to stutter







CHORUS



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 the day turns to night



I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly



They could save a lot of points by signing Hibs Goalie







CHORUS







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."







CHORUS
