Lyrics
Walk by my side boy
For I have visited before
Whilst you may not recognise me
I'm the man from England afore
Many years have I been abroad
Many the season that's passed
But England's changed beyond my memory
And not for better, for worse
'Cos your finest traits are all gone
Your tolerance justice and pride
Britannia's cancerous and shuffling form
Sneers at England's demise
So don't you fear me in the streets
Don't you dare
For I am just the same as you
We're lost lost lost together
Respect, that word's misused
I'm gonna give you back your conscience
Gonna champion the truth
Gonna start that revolution
Oh yeah, and I'm starting with you
Yeah, I'm starting with you
'Cos your finest traits are all gone
Your tolerance justice and pride
Britannia's cancerous and shuffling form
Sneers at England's demise
She sneers at England's demise
