Ah, the danger of songs like this is that they don't inspire Scots today "sitting in their council houses, dreaming of their clan" to get there and fight to save what's left of nationhood and political determination.

As Brian McNeill says:

So don't talk to me of Scotland the Brave
For if we don't fight soon there'll be nothing left to save
Or would you rather stand and watch them dig your grave
While you wait for the Tartan Messiah?
