Nationwide

All over the country, there's a growing fear
A nation growing up takes a lot of years
Something new is happening
There's a team in every town
The generation slide gets the old folks down

Even the police are breaching the peace
Even the schools teach the wrong rules

I stumbled into Glasgow
I was beaten, I was saved
I was rid of all the shite that they took from me
I did what I could, but I was bleeding hard
I never believed that I would need a sword

Even the police are breaching the peace
Even the schools teach the wrong rules

Even the police are breaching the peace
Even the schools teach the wrong rules

Across the forth in Fife
There's a battle every week
In Dunfermline or Kirkcaldy
Or in any housing scheme
In Ayrshire and the Borders, the outpatients queues increase
Scotland's sick to a new disease

Even the police are breaching the peace
Even the schools teach the wrong rules

Even the police are breaching the peace
Even the schools teach the wrong rules
