lyrics

Lyrics (why exactly you'd want to sing along, I'm not sure...):

Let the bodies pile high in their thousands
Let's just take it on the chin and get it over with

Well, they did the best they could -
How can you say they didn't wrap a ring around care homes like a snake wraps around its prey
And while their hands were in the coffers it's perfectly legit
That they procured without tender (and let their mates line their wallets with it)

But he's a man of integrity - he's perfectly fit
I mean, who hasn't had a home redecoration and not known who paid for it?
And while you didn't see your gran, and at home you stayed
The Health Secretary was busy tonguing his aide

Let the bodies pile high in their thousands
Let's just take it on the chin and get it over with

Everybody needs a flag, needs a flag
Every building needs a flag
Every dog needs a flag - have you got one?

Every school needs a flag
And they'll sing in salutation
As they raise it up the pole
"Strong Britain, Proud Nation"

Write your MP
For a free framed portrait of the Queen
(Which are paid for with the cuts made to foreign aid)

And if you don't like it then go
If you don't like it then leave
If you don't like it, go back to where you came from

Let the bodies pile high in their thousands
Let's just take it on the chin and get it over with

And we'll send out a decree
That it's fine to boo the taking of the knee
Because it's gesture politics
Promoting Marxist ideology

And then we'll feign outrage
And change tack
When the racists hear the dog whistle
And go on the attack

It really makes you wonder
When you stop a while
How did this type of bigotry
Come back in style?

I dunno - maybe ask the letterboxes, tank-topped bumboys and picaninnies with watermelon smiles

Let the bodies pile high in their thousands
Let's just take it on the chin and get it over with

[unintelligible posh gibbering] Fucking wiff-waff!
