The grim spectre of shambolic nationalism
Crawling through empty streets past luxury flats
Covered in poppies and wrapped in a flag
A pathetic shout for attention and relevance
Dragging us all too far to the right
Your pet media weaponising the hatred
Look at the state of you
This is just the face of modern Britain
Look at the fucking state of you
Take a long look
A national fetish for the taste of boot leather
Yes sir no sir not in my back yard sir
Blaming everyone but ourselves
The bloated cancer at the heart of it all
Saying we're proud when we should be ashamed
Look at the state of this country
The absolute state of you
I can't stand the state of you
I can't even look at my country
Filled with bigots spreading their hate
Look at the state of it
Maybe we're beyond saving
Maybe we deserve all of this
The absolute state of us
