British Bombs by Declan McKenna
Great snakes, are we moving already?
Good gravy, did you say it cost a penny or two for you?
We’re talking ’bout the bad start
My baby brother has already got a gas mask
‘Cause it’s a good ol’ fashion landslide
Kill ’em with your hands tied
In the homemade road, set sail
Babe, we read it in the mail, no hope now
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it’s good what you tell ’em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Why does it seem a fever dream for all the gold you made to me?
You said I’ll feel one day each year a worry
We shall remember the dead
I will remember the dead so they know that we’re sorry
But then carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting as well, what you tell ’em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting as well, what you tell ’em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
How could it be the money is the fault that matters to me?
You say you’re hungry, but you won’t eat the caraway seeds
Doesn’t matter in the wreckage what should you say
But I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday
This is what you signed up for, no questions
Wreck and weaker of the beast, oh, the weapon’s convention
At least on the table, but is no [?]
All I want is fullfill, carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell ’em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell ’em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
It’s a good ol’ fashion landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade road, set sail
Babe, we read it in the mail, no hope now
And it’s a total fucking whitewash
The people that we might squash
And the front home soil, set sail
For wherever the fuck got oil this time
And if it’s not a fucking war crime
It’s a total waste of your time and getting so much worse
Get real, kid, your country’s been at war since birth now
And if it’s not a fucking outrage, what’s it all about then?
It’s a one on one fight
Baby, it’s gotta tell you where it all went wrong and then carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting as well, what you tell ’em
Great Britain Wales stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting as well, what you tell ’em
Great Britain Wales stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
