Oi Polloi - Willie McRae lyrics

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
