| W´en mi jus´ come to Landan toun | |
| Mi use to work pan di andahgroun | |
| But workin´ pan di andahgroun | |
| Y´u don´t get fi know your way around | |
| Inglan is a bitch | |
| Dere´s no escapin it | |
| Inglan is a bitch | |
| Dere´s no runnin´ whey fram it | |
| Mi get a lickle jab in a bih ´otell | |
| An´ awftah a while, mi woz doin´ quite well | |
| Dem staat mi aaf as a dish-washah | |
| But w´en mi tek a stack, mi noh tun clack-watchah | |
| Inglan is a bitch | |
| Dere´s no escapin it | |
| Inglan is a bitch | |
| No baddah try fi hide fram it | |
| W´en dem gi´ you di lickle wage packit | |
| Fus dem rab it wid dem big tax rackit | |
| Y´u haffi struggle fi mek en´s meet | |
| An´ w´en y´u goh a y´u bed y´u jus´ can´t sleep | |
| Inglan is a bitch | |
| Dere´s no escapin it | |
| Inglan is a bitch | |
