Shit Britain

[Verse 1] And it feels like there's no escape On this prison island, a political block An angry childish rock And I'm no captain, I'm infantry Disposable and brave, along with the rest And in our heads we hear three lions roar The crowd starts to peak, edge of your seat Louder and louder, coming home and coming up And I'm sweating, I'm anxious, I'm finished So you default to a story about the war Yeah you're "Churchillian" if you’re posh and mumble Different stock mate, sweaty scales on an oily canvas Stuck inside this northern scam Full of fucking gin bars, drunk on offshore superstars They've got us blaming each other Pointless rage and apathy, yet we've never cared before Mother's ruin, nothing doing, kebab box by the bed, in [Refrain] Shit Britain Shit Britain Shit Britain Shit Britain [Verse 2] And we're nodding dogs, accepting mutes Desperate for the romance of a claggy pub floor The piss ridden glamour of the sweeping dregs Crouched in the bogs like it's 1994 Everything's on tick, so claim your prize Boozed up, dumbed down, living in clown town There's a new found spring in your goose step All stiff upper lip, half arsed threat And you're getting all radgey on the internet So calm down, let's go for a ride There's a glove box full of best of's, so tuck right in my friend Oh, wet dreams of the Empire: volume one, you say ok, press play Sleep tight merry men, sleep tight, don't let that austerity bite, in [Refrain] Shit Britain Shit Britain Shit Britain Shit Britain [Verse 3] I understand, I'm the snake, I'm the scum, the unpatriotic one Faithless, feckless, all bark no bite A deserter from their blue passported birthright I'm the shit, I'm bringing this country down Not to be trusted, a belligerent clown I'm the enemy of the people, I'm fucking evil I get it, I get it, I get it, I know Rule Britannia on the radio Union Jacks line the streets The Red Arrows screaming past as the homeless pile up But where is my pride? Where's my puffed out chest? Why don't I feel like all the rest? Why don't I bleed red white and blue? I'm no bulldog, but you're no Lord fucking Nelson too You're a pawn, just like me You're a mess, just like me You're a shit, just like me And you're a Brit just like me, in [Refrain] Shit Britain Shit Britain Shit Britain Shit Britain You get what you deserve
