Sick Society (albert Mariner R.i.p.)* Lyrics - Skrewdriver

You risked your life for this country when you were young 

Never questioned orders that they gave 

'Cos the love of the Red White and Blue was in your heart 

And I never thought I'd ever see the day, when I'd hear you say 

Chorus: 

Now look at a sick society, look back in time 

Now look at a sick society, who commits the crime? 

You did your time for King & Country overseas 

Spent years to keep this nation free 

Now you're not allowed to walk the British streets today 

And you're fighting 'gainst a foe you cannot see, and I hear you say 

(Repeat Chorus) 

When you wanna march in a democratic fashion 

Through the streets of the country that you love 

Then you're struck down by a mob of screaming monkeys 

Raining with bricks from above, and I hear you say 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Middle Eight: 

We remember the things that you have done 

Against all odds you would not run 

We remember the life you gladly gave 

Put an English Rose upon your grave 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Now you have died, whilst fighting for your country 

Fighting 'gainst an enemy that's within 

Now I'll make a promise to your memory, Albert Mariner 

We'll keep on fighting, until we win 

Yeah, we'll never forget you 

(Repeat Chorus) x2 

And what happened to the inquiry? 

* Albert Mariner was a pensioner killed by anti-NF protesters in Tottenham. The then Home Secretary promised a full inquiry into his death. It was never held.
