town fox following a railway line leaving his set in the brambles wild going to the country going to see every damn thing that a fox can be he aint satisfied in the brambles wild no more living out of garbage cans dodging cars big city trams going to the hedgerows going to show country cousins what a town fox knows he aint satisfied in the brambles wild fat fox wonders where the railway goes there aint no chickens here crossing no roads aint no tarmac under his feet no maccy d's no kfc he aint satisfied in the brambles wild town fox swallowed by the blackest night slowing right down feeling unseen eyes knowing he's watched there's a sense of threat wherever he's going he's not there yet he aint satisfied in the brambles wild sly fox catches a distant sound and he's off and running to familiar ground spry fox jumps up into the pen and helps himself to a goose or ten he aint satisfied in the brambles wild blood lusts rage 'til the slaughter is done here comes the farmer’s wife with a gun town fox used to being left alone is shot down dead far from home he aint satisfied in the brambles wild he aint satisfied in the brambles wild

he's the true blue, brand new, suited guru he could walk on water if you wanted him to he is the genuine item he has refuted juju so it's out with the old ways and in with the new and as we stand stock still dumbfounded by all he arrogantly does he will drown us out with soundbites give us circuses and crumbs while standing right behind him he'll have monkeys with guns too late we shall see what he's done 'cause standing there behind him he'll have monkeys with guns monkeys with guns he's got monkeys with guns he is the definitive edition polished smoothe an intimate pollution of an unpleasant truth the final distillation of poster pinup fools with the ultimate solution for all the appellant refuse and as we stand stock still dumbfounded by all he arrogantly does he will drown us out with soundbites give us circuses and crumbs while standing right behind him he'll have monkeys with guns too late we shall see what he's done 'cause standing there behind him he'll have monkeys with guns monkeys with guns he's got monkeys with guns he is the architect incarnate of all the misery that comes from policy that mandates monkeys with guns he is the penultimate seducer the push before the fall a gilded invitation for all those easily enthralled he is the con who chaulks the marks with the quikest deadly draw the perfect imitaion of all those idols you exalt and as we stand stock still dumbfounded by all he arrogantly does he will drown us out with soundbites give us circuses and crumbs while standing right behind him he'll have monkeys with guns too late we shall see what he's done 'cause standing there behind him he'll have monkeys with guns monkeys with guns he's got monkeys with guns and one day we will all have succumbed standing there beside him we are monkeys with guns monkeys with guns we're just monkeys with guns

you stand as you deliver all the choices that you bring and ask that we consider your resort to base instinct to kick the cripples crutch away just to see if he can stand rip hospitals to shreads and claim we're as pleased as punch to have a future for our children in this green and pleasant land you roll your sleeves up to play the part of a working every man to decieve naive and simple hearts and to swindle englishmen turned against eachother like rabid nazis knives in hand deploying riot police you'll utter we're as pleased as punch to have a future for our children in this green and pleasant land you talk of equal rights enshrined and of the humanity of law well ask the irish, welsh and the scotsman what parliament has done before it demonises thinkers who's choices spin doctors brand unpatriotic while they simper we're as pleased as punch to have a future for our children in this green and pleasant land well the pendulum is still swinging your credibility has grown thin i can almost hear the bleating of all your scapegoats in the wings when we rise up rise up and stand our ground and with steady voice and hand take back our country and shout out loud we're as pleased as punch to have a future for our children in this green and pleasant land a future for all our children in this green and pleasant land
