lyrics

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
