The songs lyrics

The Sons & Daughters (of Robin Hood)

(Damh the Bard)


(Verse 1)
  We all watched you on our TV, (here the scene would show two actors watching two other actos in suits on a tv. The actors on tv would be representative of government/the elite which is being commented on in the song)
Right Honourable Gentlemen, apparently,
  Different voices with only one aim,(The actors on the tv aim a bow at the actors watching)
To win my vote, to win the game.(arrow flies through tv and hits dart board in the bullseye behind them)
  People have died to pave the way,(actors lay on the ground like a path of dead, with sheets layed over them.)
So we can vote come polling day,(at the end of the dead path is a representation of a fruit slot machine)
  X marks the spot that gives us our voice,(camera points to one choice on ballet paper)
But how do you vote when there isn’t a choice?(actor rips up ballet and shoves it in the machine)



(Chorus)
If you thought that we would do nothing you’ve misunderstood…(actor pushes over machine)
  For we are the Sons and Daughters of Robin Hood!(a wall of two actors and two actress's march off in union out of camera shot)



(Verse2)
See I remember exclusion zones,(actors have a bubble of thought while marching showing scenes from stone henge fence being erected or something simliar)
  At Solstice time around the Stones,(thought bubble changes to people standing at stone henge at solstice time)
Poll Tax riots at Trafalgar Square,(bubble changes to consume entire screen with severe riot footage from the riots)
  The rich they got richer, the poor were stripped bare.(line of rich people consume the thought bubble, which gets smaller until actors can be seen holding their pockets empty to mimic the poorness of being "stripped bare")
Building new roads with no thought for the land,(footage of new roads being constructed, trees being ripped out the ground)
  And the blood of the Beanfield is still on your hands,(one of the actors dressed as a wealthy person with blood that won't wash off their hands no matter how much they try, whilst a thought bubble plays footage of the battle of the beanfield)
Now drilling off Shetland will do just fine,(actor and actress dressed in suits signing a contract)
  And you’re selling off forests like you closed down mines.(beautiful green forest footage transitions to desert footage)


(The bridge will consist of flashes of british images from going to war, car journeys around the country, scenes of lakes, people being sacked, police using tazers etc)
(Bridge)
Nothing to see, there’s nothing to see, there’s nothing to see here…
Nothing to see, just look away, there’s nothing to see here…

(Verse 3)
England’s green and pleasant land,(scenes of england with peaceful country green roads
Is not there to put cash in your hands!(scene changes to a set of hands exchanging a large sum of money in notes)
  I see your symbol is the English oak tree,(still frame of footage of an oak tree...)
    Is that your idea of irony?(...which then continues to being chopped down)
Now thousands of eyes will fall upon you,(flashes different closeups of eyes staring at the camera)
  Each watching closely what you will do,(scene from taken from behind as a person frantically tries to decide which button to press)
   All are ready to spoil your game,(camera focus on a clock on the wall as it nears the 12 in slow motion)
   For the blood of an outlaw flows in our veins!(three actors come from behind as the clock reaches 12 and put a sack over the person choosing the buttons head)


(Chorus)
If you thought that we would do nothing you’ve misunderstood…(actors marching again only this time they have a sack (which represents the person they captured) and a sword)
For we are the Sons and Daughters of Robin Hood!(as the actor/es's reach the top of the hill they are marching on they thrust the sword and sack to the sky as the final note rings out).
