This is England

I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
 Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
 On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
 A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm
 This is England
 This knife of Sheffield steel
 This is England
 This is how we feel
 ♪
 Time on his hands freezing all those clothes
 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, too far off, he can't go home
 This is England
 What we're supposed to die for
 This is England
 Never gonna cry no more
 Black shadow of the vincent
 Falls on a triumph line
 I got my motorcycle jacket
 But I'm walking all the time
 South Atlantic wind blows
 Ice from a dying creed
 I see no glory
 When will we be free
 This is England
 We can chain you to the rail
 This is England
 We can kill you in a jail

 Hey, British boots go kick Bengali in the head
 Police sit watchin'
 The newspapers bein' read
 All death to protests
 And after the attacker fled
 Out come the batons and
 The biggest one said
 This is England
 The land of illegal dances
 This is England
 Land of a thousand stances
 This is England
 This knife of Sheffield steel
 This is England
 This is how we feel
 This is England
 This is England
