letra de doesnae happen here - declan welsh and the decadent west

doesnae happen here
doesnae happen here
“alba gu bràth”
our pipe bands never struck fear
and i don’t live near glassford or the cannon
and don’t want to hear, i’m too busy recanting

hamish henderson in 2014 and we’re no like them
the whitest country on earth is at it again
it’s a passive hate that we create
we pretend that in our land, black scots haven’t died at the polis’ hand

jamaica street’s four corners full of goths and mcdonalds
george square, holding up signs saying “ya bampot donald”
we’re as guilty as sin, and as sinful as guilt
blood threads the tartan, and blood stains the kilt

as difficult to swallow as a whisky and thistle
our ego so fragile, so massive and brittle
“the english are c-nts”
but don’t stay in the dark son, we were the f-cking richard hammond to their jeremy clarkson

glasgow second city, a jewel in the empire’s crown
aye, the poor in clydeside were trodden right down
but those jobs we mourn of ships and steel
were built upon the brits, then in the colonies to feel
we must own our past, our future and present
and as the moon is sometimes hidden when it appears as a crescent
so scotland just a story, we all tell to eachother
the dark side is something we all have to uncover

so until dungavel’s shut and until there’s justice for sheku
until you stop turning a blind eye to the things that your mates do
until there’s a single black female msp, then f-ck william wallace because our freedoms no free

and until our street’s aren’t named after those who owned slaves
until we never again sing ‘scotland the brave’
until we accept that we are the empire’s descendants, it doesnae matter who’s in charge, we’ll never know independence
