Verse 1 Turned us over, over and over Do you really think we're blind You threw the dice, once to often Devil's not that kind You took it all for granted Didn't think we'd mind It was one way traffic Coming down the line Verse 2 You built your house, With our resources What are we to do Your patronising, way of talking Really turns the screw Time for the action To begin Another battle We've gotta win Chorus This is the Sound of Revolution This is the Sound it makes Oh Yeah This is the Sound of Revolution And we've got what it takes Oh Yeah Verse 3 Brothers, Sisters, come and join us There's so much to do Don't believe them, don't believe them What we say is true Time for the action To begin Another battle We've gotta win Chorus This is the Sound of Revolution This is the Sound it makes Oh Yeah This is the Sound of Revolution And we've got what it takes Oh Yeah

Verse 1 I'll be gone in the morning when my train pulls in I'll be gone in the morning when my train pulls in I've got the sweetest feeling, about a fight we have to win Verse 2 I'm heading back home, Caledonia's calling me I'm heading back home, Caledonia's calling me Liberation, liberation, let that be our destiny Verse 3 Tell me was it worth it Judas, or do you choke on the doubt Tell me was it worth it Judas, or do you choke on the doubt Was it a quarter of a million, to sell your country out? Verse 4 Take me home take me home, where the golden eagles fly Take me home take me home, where the golden eagles fly Last time it slipped through my fingers, next time it won't get by

Verse 1 From a council house in Scotland To the suburbs of Detroit To a small holding in Australia To Russian oil we exploit Thirty years have passed in no time To make our way we all took flight But at the Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow There old friends would reunite Chorus Scottish Boys are doing alright Charge you glass and raise it high To old friends and to our loved ones United till the day we die Verse 2 Corner boys in a Scottish city Memories we won’t forget Bloody rascals causing trouble Many things we still regret Susan, Ann, Elaine and Mary Who offered love which we declined There in our hearts, we raise our glasses To all the girls we left behind Chorus Verse 3 This is such a common story For the world is our domain Scottish people made a difference And for that we’ll drink again Chorus Chorus

Chorus Stand up and join the fight Stand up and join the fight Stand up and join the fight Together we can make it right Verse 1 I've been fighting all my life Year on year it's been a lonely strife No one seems to care from where I stand That the rich man takes from the poorer man Verse 2 They tell us that they understand But it's all part of the masterplan To get votes and to keep us down But one day we'll turn it all around Verse 3 They tell us what we should do But they lie and cheat their women to I know they see it fall apart But they don't care, they don't have a heart Verse 4 Raise their taxes and make them pay That's how we did it in our fathers day Don't believe them when they protest For they need you to fund their excess

Hell Yeah 06:11
Chant 1 Give Me an F, Give me an R, Give me an E, Give me an E Give Me a D, Give me an O, Give me an M What's the spell, What's that spell, What's that spell, What's that spell Let's meet in Freedom Square Chant 2 Are you ready, hell yeah Are you ready, hell yeah I can feel it, we're almost there Are you ready, hell yeah Are you ready, hell yeah I can feel it, in the air Verse 1 You can run, you can hide, but you can't hold back the tide Like a river we are running to be free Deep down inside you know, you can never stop the flow So prepare for independence day Chant 2 Verse 2 You have tried, you have lied, but we will not be denied Like a storm, we will blow and blow and blow And we know that you know, this storm will not let go Until independence day Chant 2 Verse 3 So get ready, my friends, we are close to the end No matter what they do or say We wont run, we wont hide, and we will not be denied So prepare for independence day Chant 2 Chant 1

Verse 1 I was caught up in an endless search To find the answer to it all And as I sit and contemplate I thought I heard you call Pre Chorus 1 But like the fool I am I hesitate Shift from side to side Like the ship that lost its sail I drifted with the tide Chorus Lay your light, Lay your light Oh you gave it all to me I was blind but now I see Scotland, Bonnie Scotland, You laid your light on me Verse 2 I lived in hope but feared I may not see That day I'm longing for And all along you wait patiently As our numbers soar Pre Chorus 2 But as the moon lights up the evening sky As the sun heats up the day The love you gave touched my very soul And I know I'll see the day Chorus
