BRITISH VALUES BLUES



I got me!
I can't get enough of 
MY BRITISH VALUES BLUES
We'll be taught about traffic jams and stiff upper lips
we'll learn about queuing and upper class twits
chavs and the mis-named working class
sing to me of Britain and its 'rude poor'
Austerity makes you mean and nasty
when you've finished...
can I have your pasty?
Being British has sucked since we learned about our history
and how we caused a lot of global misery.
Sing to me of Royalty and the Queen's Christmas Message
and explain to me how there is homelessness
You want me to learn the Lord's Prayer as well?
Is your God not a British Value? or is that more the Middle East?
Are you and yours getting ready for the Festive Feast?
Teach me about how being British is different to being French
We haven't had as much carnage on the old school bench.
