English |
| Oh you’d love to be English |
| And all you think it is — |
| The Queen and her Guards taking tea |
| But the hatred and the bigotry won’t go away… |
| No Blacks, no Irish, bring no dogs — |
| The shame of being something other than the same as everyone else… |
| Well, I don’t want to be like you |
| But my skin is so pale, my manner so fine |
| You think that I am just like you… |
| And you’re frightened to travel |
| 'Till you make the world look just the same as home |
| While your kids buy guns and shoot their friends |
| And die alone… |
| No mind, no judgment lets you take the blame |
| «Send those bloody strangers back from where they came» |
| Does that mean me too??? |
| Or my Mother in her small red coat |
| Stepping off the boat |
| Doing jobs you’re too damn lazy to… |
| All this greatness gone to waste |
| You hide your eyes and turn your face and |
| Nothing ever changes no |
| Nothing ever changes |
| So keep your bulldogs |
| Keep your flags |
| Cause talk is cheap and |
| Time will drag and |
| Nothing ever changes — no |
| Nothing ever changes… |
| I will always be English |
| And all I hope it is |
| These shores that I will claim as my own |
| This broken down Jerusalem |
| Is still my home… |
