The Long Haul - The Proclaimers

The threat, they say

Comes from countries ending in '-an'

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
