...When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

I like the poem better than the song. Something about the singer's style doesn't sit right with me.
No, you're right -- the poem is a classic. The song nobody will likely remember.
