Everything looks so much better
Wrapped in a thick polyester sweater
Life is a blessing but this country haunted
the British isle by foreigners wanted
You squint or completely close your eyes
and heat up those half baked chicken pies
Praise the Lord for preservatives
And put your vote for conservatives
Chew those bones and ignore the taste
Then toss away package and other waste
Down in Thames where it hides pretty well
Then after tea, have a beer, oh how swell!
Your flooring is plastic but looks pretty good
At first glance it actually looks like it´s wood
Windows and walls don´t keep the winds out
unheard of that is, in this country of doubt
But you are so lucky, your door looks pretty
a room for rent aint cheap in this city
After all you´re ahead of times
With a husband that watches your kids sometimes
Mold in the carpets and water like shit
It´s sure a priviedge being born as a Brit
You know to behave and not say what you think
You cover it all with phrases in pink
Darling and sorry and please let me help
Then you´ll admit my head´s full of kelp
to the neightbour you´ll whisper, yes that is right
You´ll wait with opinions until I´m out of sight
You´ll dress your children in black shoes that leak
And keep them inside if they start to look weak
Sustainable clothing is ugly expensive
The important thing is to not look offensive
Oh, you are lucky- your facade is blond curled
Unaware Europeans describe you as third world
Wrapped in a thick polyester sweater
