By building up the means for war, we thus preserve the peace
Such bullshit will prepare us for invasion from the east
And meanwhile, theyre carving up the land
The anglo-american military have taken full command
Its keeping us fed were consuming it all
Fat on its culture and military control
Preparing for war bit by bit
Whilst were watching its telly and eating its shit
Theyve got it all worked out and we give our consent
Theyve got it all worked out and we give our consent
Theyve got it all worked out and we give our consent
Theyve got it all worked out for central america
Theyve got it all worked out for ireland
By sitting back and keeping silent we give them our consent
Born in the shadow of the usa
Taught the fundamental bullshit every day
Force fed on a diet of great british lies
Media distortions censor our minds
Passive spectators of royalty
Too diverted to care if were free
Ici, bp, thorn emi
Red, white, and blue logos, british pride
With a big mac in one hand and a coke at our sides
Weve accepted their culture and swallowed their lies
Theyve put up more fences, watched us and spied
And cleverly told us theyve got nothing to hide
For too long weve watched them preparing for battle
But the fightback is started little by little
Kicking at the midst of passive defense
Refusing cruise means tearing down fences
At greenham and molesworth, fences you can see
But then theres all the barriers that are built around me
Political, economic, cultural, social
And people who live in glass houses
Shouldnt encourage others to throw stones
Let the glossy shop fronts know what to expect
And colonel sanders, youre next
