Why do you dream of England
You tracksuit wearing child
When pastures are greater and greener
Away from these crumbling isles
Dubai has taller towers
Sweden has less crowds
So tell me in your bloody cross
Why are you so proud?
Why do you dream of England
through sickness and in death
Why beneath your marbled stones
Wont your patriarchy rest?
Bern has cleaner rivers
And Rome more history
Why afraid of other worlds
Why do you fight them so fiercely?
Why do you dream of England
When you’ve been broke for twenty years
When you left school with nothing but contempt
For your fleeting flying peers.
Japan is more advanced
China is better prepared
For all out war that will soon ensue
If you cling to your foolish cares
No, I don’t dream of England
I dream of seas and soil
I dream of mountains and hurricanes
And of the skies to which I’m loyal
Flags and symbols are for sports teams
Fences are for dogs
Ignorance is for cattle farms
Blind faith is for gods.
