about

This was recorded just after the riots of August 2011, perhaps we should have unleashed it then, but we held it back to include it in this collection. Destined to be the final song in our set for the foreseeable future. A classic I'm very proud to have written.

lyrics

A teenage murderer was sentenced for his crime,
with good behavior served a quarter of the time,
his victim never had a life, compared to mine,
‘cos this is England, this is England.

Bad news in the paper saw inflation on a high,
the bankers got their bonuses but god knows only why,
bailed out by the government, obliged to sell a lie.
‘cos this is England, this is England.

Is cruel Britannia dreaming ?
wake up, ‘cos England’s screaming,
no place for justice anymore.

Today I heard a story from a very dodgy source,
an M.P with his trousers down was covered up, of course,
photographic evidence but still showed no remorse,
‘cos this is England, this is England.

Somewhere in a factory on this god forsaken land,
the workers get a pittance for their bosses global plan,
production costs are minimal but retails for a grand,
‘cos this is England, this is England,
this is England, this is England,
this is England, this is England.
