The Few Lyrics - Singles - Bragg Billy

At night the Baby Brotherhood and the Inter City Crew 

fill their pockets up with calling cards 

and paint their faces red, white and blue 

Then they go out seeking different coloured faces 

and anyone else that they can scare 

And they salute the foes their fathers fought 

by raising their right arms in the air 

Oh look out my country's patriots are hunting down below 

What do they know of England who only England know 

From the stands of the Empire Stadium 

come the heralds to the New Dark Age 

With the simplicities of bigotry 

And to whom all the world's a stage 

These little John Bullshits know that the press 

will glorify their feats 

So that the general public fear them 

and the authorities say give 'em all seats 

And the wasted seed of the bulldog breed is chanting here we go 

What do they know of England who only England know 

Our neighbours shake their heads 

and take their valuables inside 

While my countrymen piss in the fountains 

to express our national pride 

And to prove to the world that England 

is just as rotten as she looks 

They repeat the lies that caught their eyes 

at school in history books 

But the wars they think they're fighting were all over long ago 

What do they know of England who only England know 

And the society that spawned them 

Just cries out Who's to blame? 

And then wraps itself in the Union Jack 

And just carries on the same 

Oh look out my country's patriots are hunting down below 

What do they know of England who only England know
