  Great snakes, are we moving already?

We're talking 'bout the bad starts

In the homemade road, set sail

You said I'll feel

One day each year, a worry

We shall remember the dead

How could it be the money? It's the vote that matters to me

You say you're hungry, but you won't eat the caraway seed
Abm
  Doesn't matter in the wreckage, what should you say?
Db
  Well, I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday
Gb
  This is what you signed up for, no questions
                                                 Abm
Reckon we could offer peace, damn the weapons conventions
                                     Db
Well, it's on the table, but it's no good, can't you hear

Bridge:
Gb
  It's a good old-fashioned landslide
                  Abm
Killing with your hands tied
                          B
In the homemade road, set sail

Babe, we read it in The Mail, no hope now
Gb
  And it's a total xxxxing whitewash
                   Abm
The people that we might squash
                              B
And move from home soil, set sail
                                   Gb
For wherever the xxxx got oil this time

And if it's not a xxxxing war crime
                      Abm
It's a total waste of your time

And getting so much worse
          B
Get real, kid, your country's been at war since birth now
Gb                                                  Abm
  And if it's not a xxxxing outrage, what's it all about then?

Now, it's one on one
      B
Great Britain's gonna tell you where it all went wrong and then carry on

Chorus:
Gb
  Great way to fool me again, hun

Great acting as well, what you tell 'em
Abm
  Great Britain won't stand for felons
B
  Great British bombs in the Yemen
Gb
  Great way to fool me again, hun

Great acting as well, what you tell 'em
Abm
  Great Britain won't stand for felons
B                               Bm
  Great British bombs in the Yemen
