Also from 'Cover it Up' lyrically, it sums up what Britain is really like.

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.
