A nation of starving people Stare out from the color tv An angry child spits out its crusts And drowns the world in screams Young mother in court for tax evasion She can't afford to pay for a new more powerful missile But she doesn't have a say so Did those feet in ancient times Walk upon england's mountains green If they did they can't think very much of what they've seen The fields are covered in concrete now The countryside is dead The trees are being felled and the rivers run red That's right just get on with your life Get a good seat for you Never bother to think about how things could and should be Let them tell you what to do Control the way you think This is country where it can be a criminal offence to wink
