We are a proud land, we stand for freedom |
|
we've got the franchise, on how to lead them |
|
we've got the history, and books to prove it |
|
give us the mountain, and we will move it |
|
we rule the waves, and, the seven seas, we |
|
bring the mighty, to thier knees |
|
we offer hope, and inspiration |
|
a fine example, to lesser nations |
|
we are Britania, jewel in the crown |
|
we brought a system, to the masses |
|
divide a nation, into classes |
|
it's in our breeding, and on our faces, |
|
at least we're all born, knowing our places |
|
we stay within our, social borders |
|
we only take what, our class affords us |
|
it doesn't matter, that it's not even |
|
this is the nature, of the demon |
|
we are Britania, jewel in the crown |
|
[chorous] |
|
we are Britania |
|
we crowned an empire |
|
we came and conqured |
|
we tore thier borders down |
|
we need no conscience |
|
god is on our side |
|
we are Britania |
|
jewel in the crown |
|
[short bridge] |
|
we are your friendly, liberators |
|
we'll free you countries, from your dictators |
|
for a small slice, of your oil wells |
|
we'll send our boys in, with thier bombshells |
|
we are a refuge, for the needy |
|
always caring, never greedy |
|
whatever gesture, could be finer |
|
we've given Hong Kong, back to China |
|
we are Britania, jewel in the crown |
|
[chorous] |
|
jewel in the crown |
|
jewel in the crown |
|
jewel in the crown |
