Think Back And Lie Of England
Lyricist:Edgar Leslie, Grant Clarke, Lou Handman
(It's a load of old John Bull) Cruel Britannia ruled the waves, Empire Oiled by toiling slaves. White flag stained St.George Cross red, and blues sung for The countless dead
God save brave Johnny Company Stiff-upper-lipped he sipped his tea Atop a mound of babes he'd killed To keep our nations coffers filled
Think back and lie of England Conceal the evil we have done Think back and lie of England Fake alibis for Albion
Meanwhile back on British loam Irish driven from their homes Persecuted Welsh and Scot And robbed them all of all they'd got
Bound unto the plough and yoke They broke the backs of honest folk Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Built a gentlemen's Jerusalem I'm ashamed I share my race with them
Think back and lie of England Conceal the evil we have done Think back and lie of England Fake alibis for Albion
So will our future history tell How we've used this country well? If you ask me, well I think not Unless we watch these bigots rot
In poverty the masses drown So raise a Dome in Greenwich town? The Cenotaph is strewn with flowers Yet arms-deals struck with fascist powers
Think back and lie of England Conceal the evil we have done Think back and lie of England Fake alibis for Albion
