The Few
Lyricist:Billy Bragg
At night the Baby Brotherhood And the Inter City Crew Fill their pockets up with calling cards And paint their faces red, white and blue
Then they go out seeking different colored faces And anyone else that they can scare And they salute the foes their fathers fought By waving their right arms in the air
Oh, look how my country's patriots Are hunting down below What do they know of England Who only England know?
From the stands of the Empire Stadium Come the heralds of the 'New Dark Age' With the simplicities of bigotry And to whom all the world's a stage
These little 'John Bullshits' know That the press will glorify their feats So that the general public fear them And the authorities say, ‽Give 'em all seatsâ€
And the wasted seed of the bulldog breed Is chanting, ‽Here we go†What do they know of England Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Who only England know?
Our neighbors shake their heads And take their valuables inside While my countrymen piss in their fountains To express our national pride
And to prove to the world that England Is not as rotten as she looks They repeat the lies that caught their eyes At school in history books
But the wars, they think they're fighting Were all over long ago What do they know of England Who only England know?
And the society that spawned them Just cries out, ‽Who's to blame?†And then wraps itself in the Union Jack And just carries on the same
Oh, look out, my country's patriots Are hunting down below What do they know of England What do they know of England What do they know of England Who only England know?
