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… |
