"God's Country" lyrics

"God's Country"

All hail God's country
Big Ben, Number 10
Oxford and Cambridge
Small talk about the weather
Outside detention centres
Union Jacks, oil from Iraq
And "God Save the King"

All hail God's country
Daily Mail, bacon baps
Racist uncles want their country back
Flag-shaggers, Maggie Thatcher
Oh Britannia
And "God Save the King"

Great Britain
Are you sure?

All hail God's country
Bankers pay no tax, grandma can't afford heating
Strong and stable, you're joking
Pizza Express in Woking
We can't afford to eat there but a paedophile can

All hail God's country
I'm sorry bestie, but it's giving austerity
Three Lions, close the borders
State is lawless
But "God Save the King"

Great Britain
Are you sure?
Great Britain
Are you sure?
Great Britain
Are you sure?
Great Britain
Are you sure?

Keep calm and carry on while the state is corrupt
This is not democracy
And it's never coming home

Great Britain
Are you sure?

While the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer
Keep calm and carry on while the state is corrupt
This is not democracy
And it's never coming home
Three Lions, close the borders
State is lawless
But "God Save the King"

Great Britain
Are you sure?
Great Britain
Are you sure?
