Nerina Pallot English歌词


2024-11-17 13:41

Oh you love to be English
And all you think it is
The queen and her guards taking tea
But the hatred and the bigotry won't go away
No blacks, no Irish, bring no dogs, the shame
Of being something other than the same
As everyone else
Well I don't want to be like you
But my skin is so pale
My manners so fine
You think I am just like you

And you're frightened to travel
Till you make the world look just the same as home
While your kids buy guns and shoot their friends and die alone
No mind, no judgment lets you take the blame
Send those bloody strangers back from where they came
Does that mean me too?
Oh my mother in her small red coat
Stepping off the boat
Doing jobs you're too damn lazy to
All this greatness gone to waste
You hide your eyes and turn your face
And nothing ever changes, no
Nothing ever changes
So keep your bulldogs, keep your flags
'Cause talk is cheap and time will drag
And nothing ever changes, no
Nothing ever changes

I will be English
And all I hope it is
These shores I will claim as my own
This broken-down Jerusalem is still my home.
