lyrics

i saw the prime minister
talking on tv
it wasn't anything sinister
but it put the chills in me
let's go find another country
this one's lost its mind
goodbye
oh england
goodbye

i went down to my hometown
to go see my old friends
i couldnt place a single face
so i won't go back again
let's go find another country
this one's out of time
goodbye
oh england
goodbye

somebody died in town last night
and look who's standing proud
an angry man, his pointing hands
gathering the crowds
let's go find another country
this one's so unkind
goodbye
oh england
goodbye

barricade the doors and gates
and keep the windows closed
i can see the cavalry
vanishing like ghosts
let's go find another country
this one's not on our side
goodbye
oh england
goodbye

every other mother's son
is marching thru the town
waiting for someone to fall
so they can kick him when he's down
let's go find another country
this one's occupied
goodbye
oh england
goodbye

behind the back of the union jack
i've got every finger crossed
the great debate is just a stalemate
so turn the tv off
let's go find another country
this one's hands are tied
goodbye
oh england
goodbye
