The Long Haul [Live Tom Molton Show - BBC Scotland] Lyrics
The threat, they say
Comes from countries ending in
Where the family name is Khan
And they all read the Koran
The answer, they say
Is to bomb them all to dust
Then in fifty years they just
Might be able to see things our way
We're not barbarians
Like we were way back when
We've learned from history
So we're going round again
I miss the days
When the threat to our position
Didn't come from some religion
But from godless communism
We're not barbarians
Like we were way back when
We've learned from history
So we get to go round, get to go round
Get to go round, get to go round again
Tell your sons
Not to bother with football
Get a backpack on and crawl
We're in this for the long haul
Tell your sons
Not to bother with football
Get a backpack on and crawl
We're in this for the long haul
Comes from countries ending in
Where the family name is Khan
And they all read the Koran
Is to bomb them all to dust
Then in fifty years they just
Might be able to see things our way
Like we were way back when
We've learned from history
So we're going round again
When the threat to our position
Didn't come from some religion
But from godless communism
Like we were way back when
We've learned from history
So we get to go round, get to go round
Get to go round, get to go round again
Not to bother with football
Get a backpack on and crawl
We're in this for the long haul
Not to bother with football
Get a backpack on and crawl
We're in this for the long haul
