Take down the Union Jack,
It clashes with the sunset,
Put it in the attic,
With the Emperors old clothes.

When did it fall apart?
Some time in the 80s,
When the great and the good gave way,
To the greedy and the mean.

Britain isn't cool you know?
It's really not that great,
It's not a proper country,
It doesn't even have a patrent saint,
it's just an economic union,
Thats past it's sell by date.

Take down the Union Jack,
It clashes with the sunset,
And ask our Scottish neighbours,
If independance looks any good?
They just might understand,
How to take an abstract notion,
A personal identity and turn it into nationhood.

Is this the 19th century?
That I've watching on TV?
The dear old Queen of England
Handing out those MBEs,
Member of the british Empire?
That doesn't sound too good to me.

Gilbert and George are taking the p___ aren't they?
Gilbert and George are taking the p___,
What could be more British,
Than it's here's picture of my b__?
Gilbert and George are taking the p___.

Take down the Union Jack,
It clashes with the sunset,
And pile up all those History books,
But don't throw them away,
they just might have some clues,
About what it really means,
To be an Anglo hyphon Saxon,
In England.co.uk,
To be an Anglo hyphon Saxon,
In England.co.uk.
