THE SIDELINERS
There's jist twa kin o fowk:
Them that faas tee in dis things
An them that sits on the sidelines
An complains.
The side-liners,
They sit ahin their newspapers
An faa in wi a the ill bits o news.
Or they sit afore their TVs
An see hellafa things happenin
Aa roon the warl.
His anes that faas tee,
We ken fine
There's ill things happenin
Awye,
Bit we're tryin ti dee
Fit we can
Faar we are,
Nae burnin oot wir insides
Aboot the thingswe canna help.
An fin we're deein
Fit we can
Faar we are,
We see
Rainbows,
The hairst meen,
The winter stars,
The wild geese ,
Cats purrin,
Dogs waggin,
Bairns lachin,
Roch-lookinloons
Cairryin birns
Ti aal fowk,
Paintet quines
Bosyin greetin geets.
Aye, God Himsel
Still walks the warl.
The Deil
Hisna sic a haad
As them it sits on the sidelines
Wid hae's believe. |
