The Voice of Silent Majority

Tell me why is it opinions Differ Throughout all mankind? Why is a general consensus Never quite clearly defined? Why do we need to put borders To mark nationalities land? If such a thing is important Why is immigration not banned? Why is it our politicians Waffle each night on the news That Britain is most democratic Whilst simply ignoring our views? Why does our Great British nation Known as a sovereign state Have it’s laws overruled by Strasbourg Without any public debate? Why is it that all our judges Have opinions that to us seem lax? Giving less of a sentence to villains Than for failing to pay the poll tax Why should we really consider The ethnic minority view? In the land they originally come from I doubt they’d take notice of you Why do we put up with do-gooders Preaching to us of PC? English is our national language And England is supposed to be free Why should we bother with travellers Camping wherever they like? If they camped in Buckingham Palace They’d soon be told "Get on your bike" What is all this human rights nonsense? It’s a load of old self righteous crap Law breakers locked in the slammer And naughty kids given a slap What’s so good about toleration? Why are we so prissy and trite? We should ignore other’s lands indignation And "Pull the ladder up Jack I’m all right".
