Billy Bragg - The Few

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 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 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?
