Lyrics:
Great snakes are we moving already
Good gravy did you say it cost a penny or two
For you
Well talking bout the bad starts
My baby brother has already got a gas mask
It’s a good old fashioned landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade rope
Set sail babe we read it in the mail - no hope
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Why
Does it seem
A fever dream
For all
The call you made to me you said
I fear
One day each year
For worry
We shall remember the dead
And we’ll remember the dead
So they know that we’re sorry
And then Carry on
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
How could it be the money it’s the vote that matters to me,
You say you’re hungry but you won’t eat the caraway seed
Does it matter in the wreckage what should you say?
I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday
This is what you signed up for, no questions,
Reckon we could offer peace time from weapons conventions,
It’s on the table,
But It’s no game can’t you hear all our worries for fear
Carry on
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
It’s a good old fashioned landslide
Killin with your hands tied
With a homemade rope
Set sail babe we read it in the mail - no hope
It’s a total fucking whitewash
For the people that we might squash
Ammo from home soil
Set sail for wherever the fuck got oil this time
And if it’s not a fucking war crime
It’s a total waste of your time
It’s getting so much worse
Get real kid your country’s been at war since birth now
And if it’s not a fucking outrage
What’s it all about babe?
Now it’s one on one
Great Britain gonna tell ya where it all went wrong
And then Carry on
Great way to fool me again hun
Great acting, it’s great what you tell em
Great Britain won’t stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen

    Not condoning it, but if we don't then USA, France, China or Russia steps in to fulfil that contract. Why not start by condemning the actual Saudis and hold them to account? The Argentinians used Exocet missiles against us in the Fawklands war to sink part of our fleet and we didn't directly blame the French. At some point you've got to stop being cautious and speak out against the nation.

    I love this so much. The cutesy animation interspersed with clips of bombs and ruined houses. As well has how the walls finally drop for the character as she realises that underneath our happy facade of being innocent and polite and non threatening, Britain has been committing global atrocities out of site. And then at the end we see her finally take a mouthful of the food she’s been refusing, which I think symbolises her giving into the deception because she doesn’t really want to face the truth.

    @@BrDe135 also all the food is very english. I.e. full english breakfast, roast dinner, fish and chips. This is definitely a representation of the propaganda we are all being fed without knowing (indicated by the "growing lad" eating up not seeing theres an issue or another way of thinking. Once the young girl stops eating she starts seeing the truth. (Death and destruction) followed by death creaping into the house which is quickly crushed by the mother offering answers to dismiss the young girls worries but she herself is a product of propaganda. The UK is involved in many wars via arms sales enabling mass genocides and wars. This is reinforced by the rememberance day section saying we will carry on anyway. Carry on spreading evil despite the losses suffered to defeat evil. Amazing lyrics and an even better music video to cement the ideology of the lyrics.

    Lyrics: [Verse 1] Great snakes, are we moving already? Good gravy, did you say it cost a penny or two for you? We're talking 'bout the bad starts My baby brother has already got a gas mask 'Cause it's a good old-fashioned landslide Killing with your hands tied In the homemade rope, set sail Babe, we read it in the Mail, no hope now [Chorus] Great way to fool me again, hun Great acting, it's good what you tell 'em Great Britain won't stand for felons Great British bombs in the Yemen [Verse 2] Why does it seem a fever dream for all? The call you made to me You said I'll feel one day each year, a worry We shall remember the dead And we'll remember the dead so they know that we're sorry But then carry on Verse 3] How could it be the money? It's the vote that matters to me You say you're hungry, but you won't eat the caraway seed Doesn't matter in the wreckage, what should you say? "Well, I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday" This is what you signed up for, no questions Reckon we could offer peace, damn the weapons conventions Well, it's on the table, but it's no good, can't you hear Bridge] It's a good old-fashioned landslide Killing with your hands tied In the homemade rope, set sail Babe, we read it in the Mail, no hope now And it's a total fucking whitewash The people that we might squash And move from home soil, set sail For wherever the fuck got oil this time And if it's not a fucking war crime It's a total waste of your time And getting so much worse Get real, kid, your country's been at war since birth now And if it's not a fucking outrage, what's it all about then? Now, it’s one on one Great Britain's gonna tell you where it all went wrong and then carry on Chorus] Great way to fool me again, hun Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em Great Britain won't stand for felons Great British bombs in the Yemen (Great, great way to fool me again, hun) Great way to fool me again, hun (Great, acting, it's great what you tell 'em) Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em Great Britain won't stand for felons Great British bombs in the Yemen

    I think this is taking about The Yemeni war and also the Iraq war as well, as there was "killing with your hands tied", referring how British soldiers were having to follow orders when they didn't want to in Iraq. And "good old fasioned landslide" was definitely referring to the New Labour landslide election. I think it is talking about a lot of the wars in the middle east that Britain was a part of, including Yemen

    It's refreshing to see a really popular song about a really important modern day issue. Respect to Declan for informing the youth of how our government's morality is obsolete. Oh and it helps the song's a banger.

    dude, I hope you one day reach that status in which people don't comment the lyrics in the comments.. because the song's so iconic it would be silly to do so

    Just noticed something, the house number is 44 (written on the door) and British phone numbers start with +44 What a cool easter egg :,)
