Lyrics:

Who were you then, Peter Pike or Pink
When you marched against the crown?

Were you a fighter?
Were you a cobbler?
Were you a teacher?
Were you a carpenter?

Were you a flesher?
Were you a weaver?
Were you a frightened man?
Were you a rebel?

And what did become of you, Peter Pike or Pink
When they sent you to foreign lands?

Were you a lover?
Were you a father?
Were you a reader?
Were you a carpenter?

Were you a brother?
Were you a tailor?
Were you an honest man?
Were you a rebel?

And how might we remember you, Peter Pike or Pink
In our national imagination?

Are you a spectre?
Are you a riddle?
Are you a problem?
Are you a ghost?

Are you our history?
Are you our future?
Are you a mystery?
Are you a rebel?

Who were you then, Peter Pike or Pink
when you marched against the crown?
When they sent you to foreign lands?
in our national imagination?

And what did become of you, Peter Pike or Pink?
And how might we remember you, Peter Pike or Pink?
