Story behind the song
New Labour, PFI schools, PPP hospitals, pouring debts on our children's future, Blair's smirk over killing tens of thousands of innocents, and of course Robert Burns. Original version recorded in 1995 with a rambling contribution from Irvine Welsh in the middle. We deleted him and changed the lyrics a bit to reflect the current situation. The title is a dedication to Kenneth McAlpine, first king of a unified Scotland 841 AD. He'd turn in his grave at this bunch of wanks we've been landed with as leaders...
Lyrics
Everyone can see the light Everyone but me that is The sun's gone out The moon got lost In speaking out I lost my voice Cancel my subscription to The Golden Age I want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony But what I want and what I get Are not for me to see If I knew now what I knew then Things would be a whole lot different They ripped us off They sold the lot They ate all your porridge Then shat in your kitchen Now we rent our schools and hospitals And lick the drips from Tony's balls My best friend called from Cumbernauld He said let's go wild in East Kilbride I'm talkin' Burns in twists and turns A citizen before the union Politically correct A parcel of rogues, for English gold Turned citizen into subject Burn the cunts with their braw shirt fronts Where's the Semtex Kenneth?
