This Is England

[Keyboard intro] [Verse 1]   I hear a gang fight on a human factory farm   Are they howling out or doing somebody harm   On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm     Her voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm [Chorus 1]   This is England this knife of Sheffield steel   This is England and this is how we feel [Break] X2 [Verse 2]   Time on his hands the freezing mohawk strolls   He won’t go for the carrot they beat him by the pole   Some sunny day confronted by his soul   He’s out at sea so far he can’t go home [Chorus 2]   This is England that I’m supposed to die for   This is England we’re never gonna cry no more [Verse 3]   Black shadow of the Vincent falls on a Triumph line   I got my motorcycle jacket but I’m walking all the time   A South Atlantic wind blows ice from a dying creed   I see no glory when will we be free [Chorus 3]   This is England we can chain you to the rail   This is England we can kill you in a jail [Break] N.C. [Verse 4]   Big British boots go kick Bengali in the head   Police sit watchin’ a newspapers been read   Who dares to protest after the attacker fled   Out came the batons and the British warn their selves [Chorus 4]   This is England land of illegal dances   This is England land of one thousand stances [Chorus 1] (repeat)   This is England this knife of Sheffield steel   This is England and this is how we feel   This is England                         This is England
