lyrics

Not been feeling in place at all, lately
Somethings going on in here, it's changed again
I used to know it inside out, called it my home
I used to throw my weight about, it was my own

But now, the telebox is looking odd today
Saying, things of which I'm not supposed to say

Remember when we were young, things were simpler and so much fun
Change has made us old and grey, before our time was done
Remember, Britain still needs you

Rule Britannia
(britannia) That's what they say
Rule Britannia
(britannia) Just look the other way
Rule Britannia
(britannia) If you do what I say
Britain will rule again

Walking my street, feeling eyes on me
Do they know what I know?
One look between two friends, a nod and off we go
Then like a sleeper I'll awake and do what must be done

Have you, flown higher than you've ever flown?
And then, seen the ground coming up from below?

Oozing colours, blue, white and red
I think it's getting into my head
But then the TV man talks to me
He looks straight into my eyes and says
Remember, Britain still rules you

Rule Britannia
(britannia) That's what they say
Rule Britannia
(britannia) Just look the other way
Rule Britannia
(britannia) If you do what I say
Britain will rule again

Yes my friends, did you hear the news today? They've taken it all away
We're just victims and under assault, fFrom people with strange faces
They're coming from over there, there's one right there
Do you see him? See that look in his eyes?
Suspicious and shifty like a foreign spy
With criminal intent! We've got to set a precedent
All it takes is a tweet or a like and we'll do the dirty work...
