Townshend Pete - English Boy lyrics

I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy I feel like a stray dog Blurred like a movie You say you've come to arrest me But you're just trying to test me I'm bored with your prejudice Spreading like a fever Your promises to train me Are just attempts to restrain me I'm an English boy Precisely made Pin me down I am not afraid I show no fear I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy Use me like a headline Cut pieces to pieces I'm black on the tube line Red on the touch-line Freezing up the future Stopping every stopwatch You say we're moving like an oil slick Thicker than a house brick I'm an English boy I was brought up right If you raise your dress Then I will bite My voice is clear I got perfect poise Good to be down here With all the English boys And I don't know where I am now Or where I'm gonna go I just keep going round and round on the circle line Like some demented kind a cummuta Trying to avoid paying for my ticket I'm a lost soul I read about myself in the newspapers I'm a pig I'm a thug I've got nowhere to go but down Feel like I'm kicking at a dead man Kicking in the chorus I'm broken by hatred While politicians just ignore us You never gave me any value You didn't give me any reason There's no tools and no toys For any English boys I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy I'm an English boy I'm an English boy I'm an English boy No tools, no toys for any English boy English boy
