Back To The Stone Age

Learning we're leaving
Pleading for turning
Babylon's burning
Silent resentment
Covenant of the forgotten millions
Burn the tyrants

Bring the house down, smash the state
Put the cat out, bolt the gate
Set the clock back forty years
Wave the flag through the bitter tears
Rule Brittania, rule the waves
Britons never shall be slaves
Turn the lights out as we sing
God save the queen and head back to the stone age

And we're divided
Experts derided
"It's project fear"
Fat cats play games with
Our lives, we're expendable
We're collateral

Suicidal tendencies
Fundamental zealotry
Self destructive vanity
We're not what we used to be
Rule Brittania, rule the waves
Britons never shall be slaves
Turn the lights out as we sing
God save the queen and head back to the stone age

Out through the in door
Choosing a future
Of austerity
Don't heed the warnings
Don't need your negative rhetoric
We've been here before

Two world wars and one world cup
Defenders of nothing much
We've got pride we've got history
On an island and all at sea
Rule Brittania, rule the waves
Britons never shall be slaves
Turn the lights out as we sing
God save the queen and head back to the stone age

Rule Brittania (Babylon's Burning)
Rule Brittania (Babylon's Burning)

Rule Brittania, rule the waves
Britons never shall be slaves
Turn the lights out as we sing
God save the queen and head back to the stone age
