I don't think I'll read the paper today
All of these bombings and killings fill me with a bitter taste
In my mouth

Something feels wrong on the streets of Manchester
The drawn sullen faces of passerby tell me this isn't the end
It will happen again

And a new day has broke over Buckingham Palace
A unit of royal guards solemnly lower the Union Jack
To fly at half mast

And on London Bridge they're falling down
Let the bodies hit the ground
London Bridge, they're falling down
My dear lady

Father please tell me of when you were little
How you could walk on the street where you live without having to fear
Dark men with dark beards

What the fuck happened to Britain my country?
Why are there women in veils on the streets speaking foreign tongues
Where once there were none?

On London Bridge they're falling down
Let the bodies hit the ground
London Bridge, they were cut down
My dear lady

Something is coming, just stop and you'll hear it
A strong cup of tea and a stiff upper lip is no match for a fist
And so I enlist

So to all of you traitors and all of you cuckolds
A ballot or bullet we'll retake our homes bit by bit 'till we've won
And all the ballots are gone

Cause on London Bridge they were cut down
See the bodies on the ground
London Bridge, they were cut down
My dear lady

I don't think I'll read the paper today
All of these bombings and killings fill me with a
White hot hatred, in my heart

On London Bridge they were cut down
See the bodies on the ground
London Bridge, they were cut down
My dear lady
