Waving your Union Jack banners
about the place,
so full of nationalist pride
you forget the people
that died to create
this obnoxious pompous state.
Screeching and shouting
at the top of your ugly voices
to the bland old sounds
of the patriotic chants.
Massed together like a pack of dogs.
United together – United Kingdom thugs.
Hooligans, you’re all hooligans.
Of country and colour you boast,
the most selfish nation you toast.
Angrily and stubbornly,
ignorant right-wing bully boys
who never stop to think
how we coloured the globe in pink.
Your forefathers trashed Aborigines’ skulls,
made slaves of Africans formerly free,
and dropped countless pointless bombs,
and still you scream your smug songs…
Well, as you can guess, I’ve never liked Last Night at the Proms.
