Unicef Kingdom

Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom Gleaming towers hide our starving shame Look upon our Unicef Kingdom God you know something's got to change Sliding backwards to their golden days When those who worked knew their place Destitution is the means to motivate Riot shields and tear gas A few sliced up food scraps Is all they're willing to feed Those lucrative contracts Wrapped up in Union Jacks Are falling from the tree We're taking back control of what it means to hold this flag Instead of papering it over the cracks Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom Gleaming towers hide our starving shame Look upon our Unicef Kingdom God you know something's got to change Whip up zealotry to conquer the waves The bounty beneath would be ours to take Now it lies rotting on our decks and thrown away For queen and for country Let children go hungry As we look after our own Gaslit and broken Who's our new scapegoat then? As we all sink like stones We're taking back control of what it means to hold this flag Instead of papering it over the cracks Towing line to condemn the undeserving We stand on our doorsteps and clap Confirmation bias worshiping An age reaching for bootstraps Fatherland's infallible How dare they come to feed our poor? Display all the same contempt For the desperate people on our shores Britishness won't clothe your family National pride won't heal our sick How could you claim to love something If all your reasons are cherry picked? Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom Gleaming towers hide our starving shame Look upon our Unicef Kingdom God you know that something's got to change Riot shields and tear gas A few sliced up food scraps For queen and for country Let children go hungry
