about

It's not about *all* English people, obviously - just the ignorant, flag-waving, chinless shit-shower who have masqueraded as our leaders for the past decade.

lyrics

Lyrics:

What do the English, do the English do all day?
What do they do, what do the English do, the English do all day?

They look up their symptoms
In an ancient leather book
Take their trousers off
To the ticking of an unseen clock
They cross the Indian Ocean
In fleets of paper boats
Run naked through the orchard
They take your hat and coat

What do the English, do the English do all day?
What do they do, what do the English do, the English do all day?

They wave their arms like windmills
In their cotton vests and pants
They comb their southern coastline
For unexploded ordnance
They raise a glass in praise of spring
They sing, they sing along
They raise their voices to their gods
Though they don’t know the song

What do the English, do the English do all day?
What do they do, what do the English do, the English do all day?

God bless you, Boris
God bless you, Nigel
God bless you, Jacob
And your legion of pale-skinned children

They drop dead in the kitchen garden
Drop dead in their sleep
They drop dead on their bicycles
And on the shingle beach
They drop dead after Sunday School
Drop dead on the bus
Dropping dead for you and me
And every man-jack of us

That’s what the English, what the English do all day
That’s what they do, that’s what the English do, the English do all day.

That’s what the English, what the English do all day
That’s what they do, that’s what the English do, the English do all day.
