Chumbawamba - Invasion lyrics

rate me

By building up the means for war, we thus preserve the peace

Such bullshit will prepare us for invasion from the east

And meanwhile, they're carving up the land

The anglo-american military have taken full command

It's keeping us fed we're consuming it all

Fat on its culture and military control

Preparing for war bit by bit

Whilst we're watching its telly and eating its shit

They've got it all worked out and we give our consent

They've got it all worked out and we give our consent

They've got it all worked out and we give our consent

They've got it all worked out for Central America

They've got it all worked out for Ireland

By sitting back and keeping silent we give them our consent

Born in the shadow of the USA

Taught the fundamental bullshit every day

Force fed on a diet of Great British lies

Media distortions censor our minds

Passive spectators of royalty

Too diverted to care if we're free

ICI, BP, Thorn EMI

Red, white, and blue logos, British pride

With a Big Mac in one hand and a Coke at our sides

We've accepted their culture and swallowed their lies

They've put up more fences, watched us and spied

And cleverly told us they've got nothing to hide

For too long we've watched them preparing for battle

But the fightback is started little by little

Kicking at the midst of passive defense

Refusing cruise means tearing down fences

At Greenham and Molesworth, fences you can see

But then there's all the barriers that are built around me

Political, economic, cultural, social

And people who live in glass houses

Shouldn't encourage others to throw stones

Let the glossy shop fronts know what to expect

And colonel Sanders, you're next
