Song language: English
Two Nations |
| Two nations divided |
| By a common language |
| And about two hundred years of new songs and dancing |
| But the difference is language |
| And just the bits you got wrong |
| 'Cause we were the ones who invented the language |
| Sorry, oi, that’s just my idea of a joke |
| But you guys are different to us across the pond folk |
| And I keep having to say that I’m only joking |
| In New York when I have to buy fags on the road, oi Biggy man, god bless America and that |
| But you lot keep killing all your best talent |
| We build up our stars and then papers sweep on them |
| And you build on stars and maniacs shoot them |
| I don’t know much about nines and max |
| But we still got two dues we’re inclined to pay |
| And I much prefer the profit margin nowadays |
| And crystal methods all the height with crack |
| It was no shock to me when we flew to the door |
| At the Nars gig where the mans were shooting in a war |
| Since it got reported in the latest news story |
| That London is now more dangerous than New york |
| Two nations divided |
| By a common language |
| And about two hundred years of new songs and dancing |
| But the difference is language |
| And just the bits you got wrong |
| 'Cause we were the ones who invented the language, oi Understated is how we prefer to be That's why I've sold three millions and you've never heard of me The paparazzi shoot me the the girls all loose on me But don't |
| shoot hiders, we fight football rivalry |
| The work wac means to cum back home |
| And I wrote the ten wac commandments on my own |
| I was in front of the bloke shooting at the Nars show |
| But they weren’t shooting at him it was honor that night though |
| We don’t shoot idols happily shoot instead |
| Up my road the police just thought are you dead |
| 'Cause they guessed he might of been a bit of a terrorister |
| Does this bomb look big in this bag then but we love Biggy, Johnny Cash and |
| Stevie Wonder |
| It’s no Biggy we got no cash and its no wonder |
| 'Cause I’m proud we gave you people like John Lennon |
| Even though you shot him as well |
| Two nations divided |
| By a common language |
| And about two hundred years of new songs and dancing |
| But the difference is language |
| And just the bits you got wrong |
| 'Cause we were the ones who invented the language |
