English Culture

[Verse 1]
Is English culture drinking till you can't stand up alone? Is this my home?
Is English culture old folks freezing in their homes alone? Is this my home?
Is English culture letting desperate people sink like stones? Is this my home?
Is English culture screaming from the marrow of my bones
That if there's one thing that I know, if there's one thing that I know

[Chorus]
You can't hide the cracks with a Union Jack? I can't eat that, I can't eat that
I won't break my back for a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that
You can't hide the cracks with a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that
I won't break my back for a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that

[Verse 2]
Is gambling in the city while the mortgage payments triple overnight
And braying in the Commons like it's all just a debating exercise
And targeting the weakest just to try and keep the wool over our eyes
And spreading this division s'posed to give me national pride?
Tell me, who is on our side? Tell me, who is on our side?

[Chorus]
You can't hide the cracks with a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that
I won't break my back for a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that
You can't hide the cracks with a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that
I won't break my back for a Union Jack, I can't eat that, I can't eat that
