Icons Of Filth - Fool Britannia lyrics

Nuclear defence is a threat Can't you see it's common sense Still stockpiles build up on each side of the fence Sometimes they meet & talk They talk of peace & war Always talks fail & they want to fight it here It ain't employ It is destroy It ain't employ It is destroy Play the game Like toys The signs are everywhere land, sea & air Because of our silence they think we don't care But we do care don't we? Christ! Its our world too They're taking the piss out of me & you Surely together we can begin to create a life for ourselves Not based on power and greed Is there really no room in our world for caring & sharing? No room in our hearts & minds so we can start preparing? Government & military leaders don't care how we feel as they plan our downfall If it's o.k. for them Then its o.k. for us all Just work for them & their security & they'll see us all o.k. & don't worry about the risks It's got good pay But what good is the cash to your family & future when both start to decay Tell me how d'you make a living from d**h & destruction? Mining, refining, building, designing You're creating the holocaust Making a living from the missiles, until the missiles fall Seems so contradictory It will destroy us all Stupidity is the name of the game 'Cos in this game Defence is a threat which can turn to attack Too late when we get to the point where there's no turning back Still it's just a job, who cares anyway? Lets go on make believing the threat will go away This government will sort it out They care They'll see us all o.k So let's sit tight & hope our make believe won't just blow away It ain't employ It is destroy It ain't employ It is destroy Play the game No noise (for a while) A limited war they said Limited to what millions dead? They've k**ed & wanna k** again But they mustn't fight it here They've got no right to fight it anywhere Tell them straight if you care It ain't employ It is destroy It ain't employ It is destroy No way No more
