I'm made in England
i call it my kingdom
and i'm still standing proud
even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

right from the time when i was born in 89'
i lived in a terraced house, 10th down the line
we didnt have much money but we got on just fine
and knock down ginger is what we played just to pass the time
and for school dinners we had something called semilina
your guess is good as mine i dont know what it is either
and i can remember an explosion going off on the wharf one day
and i was scared and that's when mum used to say

she would often tell me don't be afraid
she would often say it's just that things ain't great
and all through the night time sleeping with the lights
it's just the way you was made, just the way you was made
she would often tell me just be safe
she would often [bad word] fight another day
never went to church but yet sometimes we prayed
its just the way i was made

I'm made in England
i call it my kingdom
she may let me down
she would never take a bow for me
sold down the river
you scream till they hear ya
and i'm still standing proud
even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

but we won't stand up and take back and stop this all this greed
there is no choice out there they all bring us to our knees
and sometimes we drink drink drink to excess
cos one half dont realise the other half's in a mess
so take anoither picture and send me the fine
charge me the earth for all the things i need to buy
its tottally insane but i guess we [bad word] its just the way we're made

I'm made in England
i call it my kingdom
she may let me down
she would never take a bow for me
sold down the river
you scream till they hear ya
and i'm still standing proud
even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

I'm made in England
i call it my kingdom
and i'm still standing proud
even as every town has fallen down to it's knees
