Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zamanUnion jack and union jillBack up and down the same old hillSell the flag to the youthsBut who swallows the billMurdoch she wroteHim have his hand in the tillBlairful of thatcherStuck on the 45The suits have changedBut the old ties surviveNew britannia coolWho are you trying to fool?Behind your fashion-tashion I see nothing at allCare for the commodityCuts the nation into threeRich pickings for the firstBottom third you never seeWhile middle england keeps swinging itsLoyaltyNo concern for the futureJust with dead royaltySo will the real, the real great britanStep forwardThis is the national identity paradeShoe gazer nation forever lookingBackwardsTime to reject the sixties charadeNot enough schoolsNot enough homesJust phony care in his millennium domeMore prime cuts than beef on the boneAnd theres too many questions youreNot answering toneUnion jack and union jillBack up and down the same old hillSell the flag to the youthsBut who swallows the billMurdoch she wroteHim have his hand in the tillSo will the real, the real great britanStep forwardThis is the national identity paradeShoe gazer nation forever lookingBackwardsTime to reject the sixties charade
