Sons and Daughters (of Robin Hood) Lyrics

(Verse 1)

We all watched you on our TV,
Right Honourable Gentlemen, apparently,

Different voices with only one aim,

To win my vote, to win the game.

People have died to pave the way,

So we can vote come polling day,

X marks the spot that gives us our voice,

But how do you vote when there isn't a choice?

(Chorus)

If you thought that we would do nothing you've misunderstood...

For we are the Sons and Daughters of Robin Hood!

(Verse2)

See I remember exclusion zones,

At Solstice time around the Stones,
Poll Tax riots at Trafalgar Square,

The rich they got richer, the poor were stripped bare.

Building new roads with no thought for the land,

And the blood of the Beanfield is still on your hands,

Now drilling off Shetland will do just fine,

And you're selling off forests like you closed down mines.

(Bridge)

Nothing to see, there's nothing to see, there's nothing to see here...

Nothing to see, just look away, there's nothing to see here...
(Verse 3)

England's green and pleasant land,

Is not there to put cash in your hands!

I see your symbol is the English oak tree,

Is that your idea of irony?

Now thousands of eyes will fall upon you,

Each watching closely what you will do,

All are ready to spoil your game,

For the blood of an outlaw flows in our veins!

(Chorus)

If you thought that we would do nothing you've misunderstood...

For we are the Sons and Daughters of Robin Hood!
