Frank Turner
King and Country
[Verse 1]
You are listening to Today on Radio 4
This is the third world war
The scientists are sounding the alarm
Everyone stay calm
The bailiffs have knocked down a family’s door
The oil profits soar
Some teenagers have blocked the motorway
So we locked them all away
We locked them all away
So everything’s okay
[Chorus]
But none of your flag waving and God-fearing
Is gonna help us out the state that we’re in
From the barricades I hear them cheering, hear them sing
"You ain’t my king
This ain’t my country"
Ain’t my king
It ain’t my country now
[Verse 2]
You are watching Breakfast on BBC 1
Keep calm and carry on
A carpet of dеad shellfish washed ashore
Bad luck and nothing morе
Another boat of refugees went down
Let’s talk about pronouns
Have you considered sleeping in your coats?
At least we stopped the boats
No IDs means no votes
But thank God we stopped the boats
[Chorus 2]
None of your flag waving and God-fearing
Is gonna help us out the state that we’re in
And from the barricades I hear them cheering, hear them sing
"You ain’t my king
This ain’t my country"
Ain’t my king
This ain’t my country now
