Self Destruct Nation by Killdren Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2020

[Intro]
...Oh! We're in trouble!
Something's come along and has burst our bubble...

[Verse 1]
Patriots are cozying up to privileged nonces
Carving up the country is one of their main responses
Attacking your own people should be the highest form of treason
Now you're voting them up, and giving them more reason

Listen luv – opening your own cute coffee shop, where you whinge about having to pay your staff minimum wage, does not make you the capitalist class…

It makes you a selfish cunt!

Listen mate – starting your own building firm, and begrudgingly employing forеigners 'cos you can pay them less, doеsn't make you part of the elite…

It makes you a selfish cunt!

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
The Bullingdon club work for their chums in the city
Leave us fighting for scraps – oh no, it won't be pretty
The media sets us against each other
Keep an eye on your neighbour – they're not your brother!
The electorate is convinced they're a superior class
By owning a poxy business, that's not sitting on your arse...
You've nabbed a dingy flat under buy-to-let
Well that's you in the club then – you're all set!

[Chorus]
We’re a nation set to self-destruct!
Two steps backward until we're fucked
We’re a nation set to self-destruct!
Two steps backward until we're fucked

We’re a nation set to self-destruct!
Two steps backward until we're fucked
We turned our land into a sea of blue
Making Britain great again, but not for me and you!

[Verse 3]
We don't blame those who make the rules
Only others who obey them
We don't look at where the money trail goes
Taxes to the Caymans!
I don’t do politics, they’re all the same
Don’t like Corbyn, doesn’t play the game
Besides, we’re in the aspiring classes
And Jeremy’s got fucking wonky glasses!
Our blood, it's our blood, you know – pure British blood!
The one made up of Celtic, French, Norman, Viking, and Germanic blood. But now we've had all them, coming over here and strengthening the gene pool, we're shutting the fucking door son! We're British – we're proud Brits, we don't need some Euro-twat running our country. We've got homegrown sociopaths who’ll do that for us... British style! With Yorkshires and gravy on the side!

Ahhh!

I'm so patriotic!
I'm gonna punch myself in the face
I'm so patriotic!
I'm gonna shit on my own doorstep
I'm so patriotic!
I'm gonna sell off what my taxes pay for
I'm so patriotic!
I'm gonna be ruled by British tyrants
(None of that foreign muck)

[Chorus]
We’re a nation set to self-destruct
Two steps backward until we're fucked
We’re a nation set to self-destruct
Two steps backward until we're fucked
We’re a nation set to self-destruct
Two steps backward until we're fucked
We learnt to bow before our media kings
Old man Murdoch always at the strings

[Bridge]
We’re a nation set to self-destruct
We’re a nation set to self-destruct
We’re a nation set to self-destruct

It’s an extended game of 'Where’s Boris?'
And the UK is the venue
You can be sure that aged gammon is still
Very much on the menu
