Lyrics
People are drowning
In the English Channel
Somebody deciding
If they're fish or mammal
Their pockets they're lining
While we follow the rules
Somebody deciding if they should live or do or die
This is the UK - it stands for unkaring, it stands for unknowing, it stands for unkwestioning
You let them lead you by the nose.
This is the UK - it stands for unkaring, it stands for unknowing, it stands for unkind
And covid swept it all away.
Some people are crowningÂ
In piles of stolen gold
Some people are starving
Or they're dying of the cold
Some people are watchingÂ
While monkeys feed the dogs
Some people are praying
While the snakes are fed for frogs
CHORUS
Welcome to the UK
Where people walk in a certain way
Pretending it's all OK
Ignoring the rank stench of decay
That haunts the highways
Welcome to the UK
If you're lucky they're gonna let you stay
Under skies of black and grey
Until it sinks beneath the sinks beneath the waves.
