I fear we have fallen Into an English spell Which subtly says to us You are not capable Wrapped in a golden Envelope and slipped Into our subconscious With a diminishing smile
Should we trust the hand Which patronizingly offers Financial security while the Other hand saps our strength As they puff up their own ego feathers As England waddles around the globe Like a fat bird still hungover From the British Empire As they still play their empire game With the fat turkey across the water
Is the only place we can Choose to paint our face with Our own colours is to remain The sideline of a rugby pitch As England paints its colours And philosophy over our world The spellbound English May see themselves as A well meaning parent But they stifle our freedom As we are made to feel like children As they cast a net over us
Let us not be bewitched By their bribery Or consumed by their words As they bind us to a wheelchair We never needed Let us raise our own ceiling From its deflated value We have been cast Are we all fooled by A blanket of economic mysticism Are we not blessed with enough ability Or should we keep sending our Home work to London So they may score our maths
Has England gnawed away at our Self confidence for so long That we ourselves on our knees Unable to convince ourselves Of our own capability For we are not England With its lost identity As it spreads itself losing All boundaries and self Our first steps maybe nervy As we seek our center To find our balance
The choice is yours But while our eyes are Distracted and bedazzled By the London elite Our Scotland remains partially Unseen and unheard So let us turn our eyes back And see our SCOTLAND And hear him ROAR!!!!
