Proud?

Came across this today, I'm afraid this sort of rhetoric pisses me off like anything, so I rewrote it...

 

Just don’t give me that crap

 

What’s happened to England? It’s turned paranoid!

On a pathway to nowhere, an intelligence void.

Feeling so jealous that for others life’s better

Than it is for us, the political correctness trendsetter.

 

The Germans are Germans and the French are the French

They have identities that are deeply entrenched

The “patriots” wonder “what’s happened to ours?”

I’ll tell you – it’s turned ugly from nationalist scars.

 

They’ll seek scapegoats to blame for the loss of “free speech”

Europe, the BBC – “All evil!” they preach

But I think a quick bit of research will expose

The stench of culpability under your nose.

 

At school I learnt Shakespeare but found it too hard

And did not want to measure by inch or by yard

But I learnt about the disastrous effects of a war

The scandal of Somme – that and much more

 

We are Europeans, in Europe we dwell

Anyone who fails to see must be thick as hell

Why do we always obsess over our roots?

Do you want to return to the past in jackboots?

 

Fuck New Labour, Conservative, all are corrupt

But that’s no reason to see nationalism erupt

Burn European stars and the Red White and Blue

Resist the bullshit that’s force-fed to you!
