Cries still haunt the fields of Britain
The moanings of Roundheads and Cavaliers
Haunted shout from Brixton fall on death ears
And the noises from the North are still a roar
Please, Please I don't want another civil war
Well they dragged him out and give him a clout
And kicked him in on the edge of the thicket
His last words were "I'm not even a Muslim"
"I've got an Arsenal season ticket"
This is a nation of immigrants
This is how the country was created
This is a nation of immigrants
So how can there be foreigners to be hated?
So the Celts fell to the great Empire of Rome
Until they got fed up and pissed off back home
English is indistinguishable from the Netherlands
Why not just ask your Y-Chromosome?
Between Saxons, Normans and Christianity
Everyone in this country came from across a sea
Who taught the kid to hate because of someone's race
They had to pick it up someplace
Did you get these ideas from the same someplace
You got the colour of your hair?
Did mummy and daddy tell you that hating foreigners
In a nation of immigrants was fair?
This is a nation of immigrants
This is how the country was created
This is a nation of immigrants
So how can there be foreigners to be hated?

I got annoyed with my country-men again.
Simply about how 'English' and 'British' have come about (in no particular order) and how that pretty much makes racism silly as there really can't be any foreigners on an island built by immigration
Brixton is a place in London where there were race riots in the 1980s / A 'clout' is a hit. / Arsenal is a london football (soccer) team
