The Night the Lights Went Out in Scotland

The Real McKenzies

we're lookin' back to see 
the eighteenth century 
talkin' bout the shit that went down 
after the fall of culloden 
that's when prince charlie ran away 
the dragons came, they hacked and slayed 
yeah they burned 'em out 
well i'm not laying the blame 
on anybody alive today 
but the crimes and lies in history shout 
about the night the lights went out 
after endless heinous deeds 
no one was safe 
not a man or a laddie 
not a woman or a lassie 
with blooded cold steel hands 
they began 
to clear the highlands of their nobel clans 
well i'm not laying the blame 
on anybody alive today 
but the crimes and lies in history shout 
about the night the lights went out 
the night the lights went out in Scotland
the night the lights went out
yeah the night the lights
the night the lights x2
went out.
well i'm not laying the blame 
on anybody alive today 
but the crimes and lies in history shout 
about the night the lights went out 
the night the lights went out in Scotland
the night the lights went out
yeah the night the lights
the night the lights x2
went out.
