Devolution Anthem

歌詞

Thank you for your kind endeavours Making Scotland fit for kings All the gifts that London sends us All the joy Westminster brings Hail to our country and our leaders Ruling with integrity Wish that we had voted for them Taking care of you and me Praise them for their kindly hand-outs Stand in line, redundancy All our friends you've saved from working He's sold his job, can't you see Early retirement, that's the plan A holiday that work can't buy From sweet sixteen until you meet That job creator in the sky Equal rights democracy The poll tax proves it must be true Palaces or one-roomed slums We pay the same, so, god bless you Thank you for your time-share chalets And your tiny bijou bed-sit flat Sold to buy your Scottish castle "What, my dears, do you think of that?" Keep the soft soap gently bubbling Tax the whisky, oil and rain When at last the oil runs out The devolution dream will come again
