Rule Britannia is a world beater
Hoist that rag to the waves
We have the highest coronavirus death rate in Europe
We are heading for the worst recession as well
It doesn’t matter how we fiddle the figures
Little England is a success
They say all lives matter but they want refugees dead
They say all lives matter but refuse to wear face masks during a global pandemic
They say voting for Brexit took back control
Now they are begging Europe to ‘protect our borders’
With our shiny blue passports made in Poland
If you want to know what the future looks like
It’s a grubby little Weatherspoon’s with our drinks all white
Farage and Cummings at the bar telling racist jokes
Tim Martin giving sermons mumbling like a drunk

Keep walking Captain Tom

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain

Just as Coalition austerity killed 100,000
Releasing infected patients into care homes was genocide
The Oxbridge media are gushing in praise
So here’s another photo op for the clown
QAnon conspiracy fascists talking hoax of death
Will be begging for ventilators when they are gasping for breath
Forget the second wave this has never gone away
The world has become one big zoom meeting
Be ready for evictions and mass unemployment
Eat out to help out with junk food all around
Half priced Nando’s won’t save us this time
We are going down
Ecosystems broken, pandemics and environmental catastrophe
This is our present and this is our future
Where racism and corruption are pre-requisites to power
How far can you take a lie?
All the way to the White House, little Donny
All the way to Downing Street, Boris
Follow the money given to private companies
Contracts to friends of Government
For PPE that doesn’t work and a useless track and trace system
As the Captain walks around the garden
Time for another holiday Boris?
Forget about COBRA meetings and daily updates

Keep walking Captain Tom

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain

No more scapegoats
Time to take responsibility
If you voted Tory own it
If you chose Brexit own it
You despised Corbyn so you chose hate
This is your creation
Send me all the way to Barnard Castle for an eye test
One rule for them and one for the rest of us
If you are white and fill up Bournemouth beach they call it a holiday
But if you join a protest and say ‘Black Lives Matter’ they call you a terrorist
It is no surprise that the countries with the highest coronavirus death rates
Are led by racist despots; Trump’s America, Bolsonaro’s Brazil and Boris’ little England
People get ready there is a train coming
This time we got race to the bottom trade deals, chlorinated chickens and prison camps for refugees
You are anti-vaccine, anti-social distancing, anti-wearing face masks, anti-lockdown, anti-life and anti-love
So who are you gonna blame next, blame refugees, blame foreigners, blame immigrants, blame Black Lives Matter, blame the EU, blame snowflakes , blame being woke, blame Extinction Rebellion, blame Jeremy Corbyn, blame Antifa,
Blaming people is so easy
It means you never have to look at yourself
Keep walking Captain Tom

Stay alert
Die quietly
Don’t complain
