Song language: English
This is England |
| I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm |
| Are they howling out or doing somebody harm |
| On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm |
| A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm |
| This is England |
| This knife of Sheffield steel |
| This is England |
| This is how we feel |
| Time on his hands freezing in those clothes |
| He won’t go for the carrot |
| They beat him by the pole |
| Some sunny day confronted by his soul |
| He’s out at sea, too far off, he can’t go home |
| This is England |
| What we’re supposed to die for |
| This is England |
| And we’re never gonna cry no more |
| Black shadow of the Vincent |
| Falls on a Triumph line |
| I got my motorcycle jacket |
| But I’m walking all the time |
| South Atlantic wind blows |
| Ice from a dying creed |
| I see no glory |
| When will we be free |
| This is England |
| We can chain you to the rail |
| This is England |
| We can kill you in a jail |
| Big British boots go kick Bengali in the head |
| Police sit watchin' |
| The newspapers being read |
| Who dares to protest |
| After the attacker fled |
| Out came the batons and |
| The British warned themselves |
| This is England |
| The land of (il)legal dances |
| This is England |
| Land of a thousand stances |
| This is England |
| This knife of Sheffield steel |
| This is England |
| This is how we feel |
| This is England |
| This is England |
