lyrics

Oh can you picture the scene,A pie and a pint on the green,The soft thud of willow on leather,All the children playing together,In the land of hope and of glory,There's nobody poor in your story,Yes, I can picture the scene,Of a country that has never been.
So don't sell me your false nostalgia,Don't tell me that everything is so great,Cos if we don't learn from our history,We're bound to repeat the same mistakes.
Remember when Britain was great,Before healthcare or wealth fare state,When nobody locked their front door,There's nothing to steal when your poor,When daddy, he died down the mine,The family they didn't see a dime,Hungry with nothing to eat,It's the poor house or out on the street.
So don't sell me your false nostalgia,Don't tell me that everything is so great,Cos if we don't learn from our history,We're bound to repeat the same mistakes.
