Lyrics
On a journey south they rode
For titles, lands and gold
Dùn Èideann's suits left and shut up shop
Parcelled rogues dressed in Whitehall smocks
Left a nation in the cold
Left a people to be sold
Bequeathed our jewels to a hostile foe
Passed the reigns and let them run the show
And why can't we stand that tall
Panama happened many moons ago
And why do we need them at all
They'll look after their own before they notice us at all
You've got to wonder have we any sense at all
When everyone else is giving it their all
What dependent serfs we stay
We've lost our soul, we've even lost our way
The empire's gone with the setting sun
You'd think it would be time to cut and run
Now we sit and answer phones
The cheapest bidder left to serve their homes
We delude ourselves about dividends
And gifted wealth from our closest friends
And why can't we stand that tall
Panama happened many moons ago
And why do we need them at all
They'll look after their own before they notice us at all
You've got to wonder have we any sense at all
When everyone else is giving it their all
You've got to wonder have we any sense at all
When everyone else is giving it their all
