  • I saw a man, he stole our national thunder
    He had to leave on a glorious ride

    He was lovesick but didn't know
    That he worshiped all we wrote
    I'm sure he loved that back and forth
    But didn't understand it, no

    The lizard shit and held it under our nostrils
    Don't believe the lamb, believe the wolf

    He was lovesick but didn't know
    That he worshiped all we wrote
    I'm sure he loved that back and forth
    But didn't understand it, no

    I see a land, they'll never show
    'Cause this is not what we chose
    No new tomorrows, no change of roles
    We'll never reap what we sow
    For this is not what we chose
    'Cause this is not what we chose
    No new tomorrows, no change of roles
    We'll never reap what we sow

    He was lovesick but didn't know
    That he worshiped all we wrote
    I'm sure he loved that back and forth
    But didn't understand it, no Writer/s: Simon Alexander Neil
