You Can Have This Country Back

from Double Negative by Down And Outs

/

about

Written on the day of the Brexit referendum result. A dark day for anyone who isn't sound. Flags, borders, nationalism, patriotism: tools of ignorance.

lyrics

I can’t believe the words that you're saying and you are singing
Went to sleep in Great Britain, woke up in Little England
Austerity’s the measure they should be blaming not the immigrants
Pouring petrol on the fire to fuel the dissidence of ignorance

You can have your country back cos it doesn’t mean a fucking thing to me

Do you remember a time when things were better than before
When National Front graffiti was painted on the wall
Maybe it’s not just all condescending reminiscing
And dreaming of a whiter past they’ve convinced you you’ve been missing

And will you be the person that speaks up or buries their head under the sand
And will you be the person that wakes up and decides to take a stand
