I remember an England from long before
Tuppence a loaf from the grocer's store
Industrial smoke rolling over the hills
Factories thriving, the mines and the mills
And we proudly and staunchly defended our shores
As we took on the world in two glorious wars
That was my beautiful England
And I'll sit and wait 'til this country is great once again
When I take a look at my England today
And the front page news in The Sun and The Mail
Tells of floodgates open at every port
They come over 'ere and they take all our jobs
Our island is full and security's weak
With terrorists living on every street
This is my beautiful England
And there's a mandate to make this country great once again
Beware the fourth Thursday in June, they will sell you a lie
A thriving future of rose-tinted decades gone by
Now you're out on the street waving Union Jacks
The people have spoke, you got your England back
An army of 17 million strong
And 17 million cannot be wrong?
It's a smack in the mouth for the PC Brigade
But now each of your leaders has fallen away
And we're told they cannot make promises stick
Of three-hundred million a week for the sick
And a startling increase in racist attacks
As they hound out the Asians, the Poles and the blacks
And now my beautiful England
Thanks to bullshit and hate, is distinctly third rate once again
