England

Lyrics

[Intro] England England [Verse] We gotta stack chips and that's the way it is, yo Livin' in the city is turnin' Billy schizo- Phrenic, it's a blood money epidemic Kids rock Akademiks but they're not academic Better stop for a second, take a look around you Demons surround you, evil is all powerful Love is up against the ropes, it's God's downfall Lucifer reigns, the future remains doubtful The gloves are off, bare knuckles for the last round Listen to the war drum, hear how my heart sound Fists pound the asphalt, as the livin' dead Inhale the crack smoke, squeeze blood out a Stone just to make cash flow, streets retarded The daily news is too much for the weak-hearted Deeply depressed artistic arsonist Sparkin' spliffs, addicts jack the pharmacist The devil lives in the Houses of Parliament Devil worship or rebel disarmament Is the main agenda for the parliament'ry member Send in the Toxic Avenger Mutant anti-hero, stack dinero Move with a band of bandolero at sub-zero Temperature, new clothes for the Emperor Watch how you walk, these kids'll put an end to ya The cross-country adventurer, ventin' The pent-up aggression when I enter the session Adolescents hold weapons, and shut down your pantomime Draw heat, 9 milli' degrees Fahrenheit (England) England, where the smackheads jackin' up Crackheads crackin' up, your back-up are backin' up Leave with your hands cuffed, po-po bustin' blocks Old folk punchin' clocks, yo, it don't fuckin' stop Police stoppin' me with the P.O.T Race hate growin' so they're votin' for BNP Brits in Guantanamo, dreamin' of bein' free Fuck this country, it ain't doin' shit for me Look at the history books, peep the bloodshed Karma is coming, you'll see the streets run red RedRum, that's the way that the money's made The Church of England invest in the slave trade Trace it back to the bank where you put your wage Built on the blood of slaves and stolen sugar cane (England) And now we toil for the royal blood Spillin' on the soil where they're drillin' for the oil Got us killin' for the buck, but we don't give a fuck Nobody wanna work, we just wanna live it up Bring a cup, fill it up with the blood, sweat and tears, too I got no love for ideals you adhere to Dear England, please confess your sins now I see police tape when I'm takin' my bins out A dead baby got dropped down my rubbish chute Please don't bum me out, 'cause I just bunned a zoot Don't look at me funny blood, it's fuckin' true You don't believe me, I guess it's too much for you A girl got abducted and chopped up in Catford Racists with ice picks? That shit is backward The news is confusin', it's all manufactured Pop propaganda, political actors Political factions and critical factors Get kidnapped and sympathise with your captors Trapped in the capital, death before dishonour Troops terrorised by suicide bombers And I wanna vomit, 'cause they're blowin' up buses It's rough in the streets, kids growin' up cussin' Get crushed in the rush hour, police have got Too much power, now they move like a menace Ask Jean Charles De Menezes, in the heavens They put seven in his head and sent him back to the essence Got us livin' in fear, you get treated like a Criminal if you're Muslim with a beard Twenty-four hour drinkin', I'm sippin' a beer But some don't know their limits, it's a little severe The liquor is here, the drugs are here The football thugs are here, you could get mugged in here So plug your ear if you don't wanna hear the screams From the dungeon to the Huddersfield of dreams I feel the heat of Big Brother's eyes on my back He's watchin' how I move and the way that I act He's watchin' what I read and the products that I buy My bank balance? That's the price of the property rise My political allegiance? I'm angry I didn't register my Oyster card, you can't track me ID's compulsory, they got a back door You're forced to apply when you renew your passport It's hardcore, but that's life in England And it goes for the whole United Kingdom And I still got love for the place where I'm livin' But right now there ain't nuttin' great about Britain
