Let no stone go unturned
No village go unburned
Let nations price taggers
Stick their sallow daggers
Into everything that we own
Let our very children
Sold as X-Factor cattle
Be stripped in teenage battle
As slabs of beef from bone
Slabs of beef from bone
Let every minute of every day
Let no hour go unconcerned
In thrall or bent
To those bastards, we pray
So no sovereign peace goes unearned
No child that you'd not sell
No memory you'd not chop or fell
No corner that you'd not plow
Duly burn and cast down to hell
Advice to daughters one, two and three
When you're too old to sit on Dad's knee
In the words of your Grandpa
When we'd given up hope
With so little left that was ours
(Telescope) don't buy a 50p telescope
(Stars) you'll only see 50p stars, my girl

Let's carry some bottles of water
To rattle around with the keys to your car
Are your jodhpurs stuck right up
The crack of your ass?
Mine still are
Let's strike up a loud conversation
Of off-piste or on
And turn the volume right up
When it's some place we've been
And they've not gone
Let's keep putting 'right now'
After everything we say
'Til a simple 'at the moment'
Seems a dark and dark and distant day
Let's chew gum like a six-year-old
With sunglasses on our head
So in winter they know
We're half Brit and definitely half Med

Let's go shopping in the better half quarter
Let's look around the bazaar
5 pounds for a bottle of fizzy water
I'd rather be old than whatever
It is you are
See they do not like the outspoken
Only broken or soon on the mend
No time for bridges or valley ridges
No diversion nor no mountain bend
Let's wreck the earth and do India
On the cheap in our bare feet
Come back home, order takeaway
Mock the way that they speak
Beware that coffee-to-go carrying bastard
He's trying to kill you, child
Take plow man's lunch, reach it by path
And take that lukewarm pint of mild
Until every path we may tread upon
And everything we ever see
Is more valuable to them and their kids
And valueless to me or thee

We are the world, no you're not
You're overpaid chancers on an oversize yacht
Message in a bottle to Sting
Lose the fuckin' yoga and the yang and fuckin' ying
If you wanna teach the world to sing

Let's adopt some African babies
Now we know they're free of rabies
Shove them in a bag at the port
Then into the back of our Mercedes
Everything, everything we tread upon
And everything we ever see
Is more valuable to them and their kids
And valueless to me or thee
