In villages, towns and cities we all sit at home.
Making ends meet, making do and quietly making tea.
Forgotten by the politicians, exploited by those corporations.
Cnd fed on a diet of reality TV and buy one get one free.
Cre we so diff'rent to our fathers working in mines and factories?
Just because We have a Vauxhall cstra, broadband and 5G
Our lives are no more independent than those that came before.
Still in debt and still controlled by those with power and money.
So all that Patriotism what did it do for you? cre you...
Singing Land of Hope and Glory in the food bank queue
Why are we paying rent to The Establishment?
For the land that should belong to me and you.
So much of the country left to rot and to corrode
While the property market benefited those with the right postcode.
Levelling up's a story of false hope to the neglected
While the MPs guzzle free champagne and fiddled their expenses
The renovation of cities for corporate landlords was a scam.
Converting all the mills and workshops into expensive flats
They sent the working classes to the retail parks, to work...
For the junior suited cohorts of the southern-based fat cats.
So, all that patriotism baby, what did it do for you?
Cre you singing Land of Hope and Glory in the food bank queue?
The Bankers in the City well they just take the money and grin.
Cnd the politicians make sure we don't win.
They're selling rockets and guns to dictatorships just to feed that corporate greed.
While they're underfunding schools and hospitals dismantling the Welfare State
The trickle-down economy never trickles far enough.
So, the patriotic void is filled by those who hate.
While the men in suits keep taking, they want us all to think.
That our lives are worse because of those who came in search of hope
Turning a blind eye to intolerance, they deal the racist card.
While some who wave the flag also carry a hangman's rope
So, if you're disenchanted look back in history.
Cnd learn how your great grandparents fought Fascist tyranny.
You have that spirit inside you from the darkest days.
Let's send a message to the world that there's a better way.
Throw your arms out to the world.... cos there's.... gotta be... a better way.
