Oh, you can’t walk down the High Street and feel safe there today
There’s too many foreigners, all getting in the way

There’s rubbish everywhere – weird hats and weirder hair
Gibberish, cacophony AND throbbing fills the air

[Chorus]

This used to be a civilized country
That’s what they all say
This used to be a civilized country
Till the government gave it away

When newcomers to this land knew their place and kept in line
Doing all the lousy jobs no-one wanted at the time

When the women weren’t allowed to vote – never said a dickie bird
And the kids were up the chimneys – so they were never seen nor heard

[Repeat Chorus]

When the Celts all painted their faces blue and the Druids made sacrifice
Till the Angles, Saxons and Vikings came and turned their blood to ice

Then the Normans came and sacked the lot and raised castles – oh, so grand
And their barons collected taxes – all up and down the land

[Repeat Chorus]

My wife’s dad was an Irishman – her mother was a Jew
My dad’s family were Huguenots – my mum’s from Katmandu

Yes, everyone is British here – British to the core
Right back to the Ice Age when – we all lived elsewhere before

[Repeat Chorus]

I see churches and fine houses standing since I was a kid
They turned them into temples and made ghettos – yes they did

I think I’ll emigrate to Mars when it’s made fit to live in
But I’ve got a funny feeling when I get there
I’ll meet the same old crowd again

[Rpt Chorus continuously and fade]
