Great Britain you are tremendous

And nobody knows like me

But really what are you doin’

In the land across the sea

If on your way to work

You were stopped by Irish soliders

Would you lie down do nothing
A
Would you give in, or go berserk

Great Britain and all the people

There’s a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country

And he’s feeling really bad

And he’s sitting in a prison

Should he lie down do nothing

Should give in or go mad
