Lyrics



The song is a protest song, listing in its first four verses problems and marginalization affecting Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England, before ending with the hopeful message that standing up to injustice will make the country a better place.

Two contemporary politicians are referenced in the lyrics, with "ten long years and we've still got her" referring to Margaret Thatcher, and the verse about Wales mentioning Neil Kinnock.
