Take Back The Land-Oi Polloi

Tore the people from the land Torched their houses with bloodied hands Thousands starved or died at sea A sickening toll of human misery Broke the old clan system where land was there for all And once the people had their backs against the wall The connivance of the church cleared them off the land "Remember it's God's will so don't try to make a stand" They made a desert wher trees once stood Squeezing from the land every penny that they could Ethnic cleaning of the glens for farming sheep 'Cos that way there's more profit for the rich scum to reap (rape) "Beautiful bleak moorland?"- I don't think so This is a place where great forests used to grow Laid waste by a rich man's greed Reclaim the land and plant the seed Yet still every year, seeking their roots They come from overseas to kiss the boots Of the clan chief and lick the hand Of the very people who threw their families off the land This is nothing more than a sick farce paying homage to the ruling class Who, without hesitation, do it all again Those who forget history to repeat it are condemned "Gee, Scotland-It's so quaint All this scenery makes me feel quite faint Clan chief looks so good in his kilt We never think of the blood his family spilt" "I'm the clan chief o.k. yah I support Scotland when they play rugger But an independent country? there I'd draw the line I own this land it's mine all mine F**K YOU, You arrogant prick You inbred rich bastard, YOU MAKE ME F**KING SICK You own f**k all-except in your head One day the land will be ours-and you'll be dead I won't beg permission to walk the land they claim to "own" And I won't pay no f**ker to gain access to THE STONES The rich have stolen and buy and sell our earth But it belongs to NO ONE-or to all by right of birth TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND TAKE IT
