Road blocks and fire
Barb wire upon barb wire
This is not your country

Armoured cars, corrugated scars
Grafitti scrawls:
This is not your country

Home sweet fortress
Gunshot - we hate your kind
Get back !
This is not your country

I need some air
And Im stopped and repeatedly questioned:
Born and raised ?
But this is not my country

Were old news
Alls well
Say bbc scum
One child shot, but so what ?

Laid my son
In a box, three feet long
And I still dont know why

A short walk home becomes a run
And Im scared
In my own country

Were old news
Alls well
Say bbc scum
Everybodys under control
Of our surveillance globes

Were old news
Alls well
And thirty years could be a thousand
And this peugeot ad
Spins round in my head
British soldier pointing a gun
And Im only trying to post a letter
A short walk home becomes a run
And Im scared, and Im scared, I am scared

Old news
Alls well
Bbc scum
Youve got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Youve got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Youve got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Youve got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth
