Let’s Make Great Britain British

Britishness was fairness 
Not bothered about race 
Jokes that didn’t careless 
taken with good grace 

We didn’t take it serious 
religion got a drilling 
there were no inferiors 
when there was derision 

everything was personal 
no grouping in together 
words were never worst of all 
a bantering endeavour 

people got all sensitive 
they were not integrated 
it would have prevented it 
now all we hear is hatred 

accusations and censorship 
from humour and free will 
well I say you should get a grip 
we don’t care how you feel 

Imported with these people 
a way that is not ours 
deport yourself it’s simple 
if words are giving scars 

we don’t need to make the great 
let’s make Great Britain British 
it takes care to discriminate 
you’re the victim of your image
