Real Great Britain Lyrics

    Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman


    Union jack and union jill
    Back up and down the same old hill
    Sell the flag to the youths
    But who swallows the bill
    "murdoch she wrote"
    Him have his hand in the till

    Blairful of thatcher
    Stuck on the 45
    The suits have changed
    But the old ties survive
    New britannia cool
    Who are you trying to fool?
    Behind your fashion-tashion i see nothing at all

    Care for the commodity
    Cuts the nation into three
    Rich pickings for the first
    Bottom third you never see
    While middle england keeps swinging its
    Loyalty
    No concern for the future
    Just with dead royalty

    So will the real, the real great britan
    Step forward
    This is the national identity parade
    Shoe gazer nation forever looking
    Backwards
    Time to reject the sixties charade

    Not enough schools
    Not enough homes
    Just "phony care" in his millennium dome
    More prime cuts than beef on the bone
    And there's too many questions you're
    Not answering tone

    Union jack and union jill
    Back up and down the same old hill
    Sell the flag to the youths
    But who swallows the bill
    "murdoch she wrote"
    Him have his hand in the till

    So will the real, the real great britan
    Step forward
    This is the national identity parade
    Shoe gazer nation forever looking
    Backwards
    Time to reject the sixties charade
