The Few - Lyrics by Bragg Billy


Lyrics
At night the Baby Brotherhood and the Inter City Crewfill their pockets up with calling cardsand paint their faces red, white and blue
Then they go out seeking different coloured facesand anyone else that they can scare
And they salute the foes their fathers foughtby raising their right arms in the air
Oh look out my country's patriots are hunting down below
What do they know of England who only England know
From the stands of the Empire Stadiumcome the heralds to the New Dark Age
With the simplicities of bigotry
And to whom all the world's a stage
These little John Bullshits know that the press will glorify their feats
So that the general public fear themand the authorities say give 'em all seats
And the wasted seed of the bulldog breed is chanting here we go
What do they know of England who only England know
Our neighbours shake their headsand take their valuables inside
While my countrymen piss in the fountainsto express our national pride
And to prove to the world that Englandis just as rotten as she looks
They repeat the lies that caught their eyesat school in history books
But the wars they think they're fighting were all over long ago
What do they know of England who only England know
And the society that spawned them
Just cries out Who's to blame?
And then wraps itself in the Union Jack
And just carries on the same
Oh look out my country's patriots are hunting down below
What do they know of England who only England know
