The Few - 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
    They go out seeking different coloured faces
    And anyone else that they can scare
    And they salute the foes their fathers fought
    By raising their right arms in the air
    Oh look out 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 to 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 seats
    And the wasted seed of the bulldog breed
    Is chanting here we go
    What do they know of England who only England know

    Our neighbours shake their heads
    And take their valuables inside
    While my countrymen piss in the fountains
    To express our national pride
    And to prove to the world that England
    Is just 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 who only England know
