Where's its mark? Clement Park

Blow me up in old Al Ghouta
In Parkland, Florida shoot me doon 
Or put me on the eternal roller coaster
So Eh'll dodge the mortar bomb 

And maybe the gunman winnae catch me 
As I stare straight intae his eyes 
And see a lad wha's completely lost here
Cursin' a'body other's road sign. 

Tie me tae a one way bungee 
Let me mak meh final plunge
Seat me on a rocket that can post me
Far awa’ fae Mr Trump.

Eh'll be taught by Dotty Chalmers
And Eh'll get fou wi' Muggie Sha'
Find me Barak and call for Bernie, 
Jeremy and Nelson an’ a’.

Tak me tae a place called kindness
Free me fae a cage in the rich fowk's zoo
Land me near tae where Eh come fae
Where the Law looks o'er Tay and toon

Though the jute mills are now apartments
And the Dens Road merkit's a' claised doon
Eh’ve tae get back some day some way
Eh've got tae get there very soon. 

Where’s its mark? Clement Park
