This Green And Pleasant Land

Our country is cobbled lanes of London town

The valleys of Wales the Devon tides

Built on hard won freedom honour and pride

So it's crazy it seems

We've become helpless like babies again

Just waiting for someone or something

To bail us out at the slightest twinge of pain

My grandad Michael Barrett took shrapnel in the neck

Uncle Ken was a padre in Burma he returned a living

wreck

Uncle John was a major and was stranded on the

shoreline at Dunkirk

It's beyond my comprehension this kind of sacrifice

So many gave themselves up

And in the end so many would fall

It's not legal to say what I think anymore

Cos I don't believe in sharia law

But I can honestly say we've pissed it up the wall

Can we please stop all this madness before it's too

late

No one takes responsibility and wants a free life on a

plate

He can close the door switch off the light

Stick his head deep in the sand

The death throes of this green and pleasant land

Is this really where our passion goes?

Is this really where our energy flows?

I awoke on Christmas day

But Christmas is a word you can no longer say

Is this really where our passion goes?

Is this really where our energy flows?

The hospitals are just another business plan

Like justice and the law of the land

An old war hero dies of cold alone in his flat

While Brutish Gas and their shareholders are getting

richer getting fat

Take only what you need and be on your way

Is this really where our passion goes?

Take only what you need and be on your way

Is this really where our energy flows?

Take only what you need and be on your way

Everybody hears but nobody listens

Empathy oh empathy

The robot people with robot answers

Invasion of the body snatchers is here finally

10:58 Wootton Bassett every Tuesday that plane goes

right over my head

Cos I can't get the drugs for cancer of the kidney my

life is in the hands of

Something called Nice how nice

Is this really where our passion goes?

Take only what you need and be on your way

Is this really where our energy flows?

Take only what you need and be on your way
