This is England

This is England
Land of the brave
Land of the free
Land of the CCTV
Land of big brother in nanny state clothes
When will people finally realise nobody knows!
Land of terrorism on the news
Land of liberal views
Land of the prim and the proper
Land of being done by a copper if your drunk and disorderly
Its nothing out of the ordinary
Land of accents and regional twang
Land of literature and cockney rhyming slang
Land of empire lost and of high housing costs
This is England land of churches, cathedrals and spires
Land of your heart’s desires
But a land contrasts and opposites
A land of history and yesterdays news
Land of voices and incoherent views
This is England from green hills to cityscapes           
From billionaires to people on the dole
This is England its heart and its soul.

◄ this was supposed to be the future!

what is like to be left without words ►
