Cap In Hand 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
