Willie Mcrae Lyrics - Oi Polloi

Willie was a fighter, Willie was no fool 

Willie fought to end Westminster rule 

Rule by scum who thought it would be best 

To use the Highlands for atomic bomb test 

Willie McRae 

Willie McRae 

Willie McRae 

Plans to use Scotland as a nuclear dump site 

Willie said, "Resist! Stand up and fight!" 

He tried to save our children from a toxic fate 

So Willie was murdered by the nuclear state 

Willie McRae 

Willie McRae 

Willie McRae 

Secret police shot Willie in the head 

Another Hilda Murrell, another activist dead 

For anti-nuclear protest in this "land of the free" 

For saying, "Alba out of G.B.!" 

Willie McRae 

Willie McRae 

Willie McRae 

No right to free speech, no right to protest 

Remember Karen Silkwood and Chico Mendes 

And countless others killed for what they had to say 

We owe it to them to keep on fighting today
