This Green and Pleasant Land - Pendragon.mp3

[00:25.53]Our country is cobbled lanes of London town
[00:32.67]The valleys of Wales the Devon tides
[00:41.46]Built on hard won freedom honour and pride
[00:50.73]So it's crazy it seems
[00:55.35]We've become helpless like babies again
[01:02.01]Just waiting for someone or something
[01:03.30]To bail us out at the slightest twinge of pain
[01:16.62]My grandad Michael Barrett took shrapnel in the neck
[01:22.47]Uncle Ken was a padre in Burma he returned a living wreck
[01:30.72]Uncle John was a major and was stranded on the shoreline at Dunkirk
[01:42.00]It's beyond my comprehension this kind of sacrifice
[01:48.18]So many gave themselves up
[01:50.01]And in the end so many would fall
[01:54.69]It's not legal to say what I think anymore
[01:58.02]Cos I don't believe in sharia law
[02:01.08]But I can honestly say we've pissed it up the wall
[02:07.59]Can we please stop all this madness before it's too late
[02:13.62]No one takes responsibility and wants a free life on a plate
[02:19.98]He can close the door switch off the light
[02:23.64]Stick his head deep in the sand
[02:27.84]The death throes of this green and pleasant land
[03:29.49]Is this really where our passion goes?
[03:30.18]Is this really where our energy flows?
[03:46.86]I awoke on Christmas day
[03:50.34]But Christmas is a word you can no longer say
[04:01.32]Is this really where our passion goes?
[04:10.95]Is this really where our energy flows?
[04:15.93]The hospitals are just another business plan
[04:21.30]Like justice and the law of the land
[04:28.38]An old war hero dies of cold alone in his flat
[04:33.21]While Brutish Gas and their shareholders are getting richer getting fat
[04:53.13]Take only what you need and be on your way
[04:54.18]Is this really where our passion goes?
[04:54.84]Take only what you need and be on your way
[05:00.48]Is this really where our energy flows?
[05:02.34]Take only what you need and be on your way
[06:04.05]Everybody hears but nobody listens
[06:06.93]Empathy oh empathy
[06:15.78]The robot people with robot answers
[06:18.93]Invasion of the bodysnatchers is here finally
[06:23.13]10:58 Wootton Bassett every tuesday that plane goes right over my head
[06:33.84]Cos I can't get the drugs for cancer of the kidney my life is in the hands of
[06:44.34]Something called Nice how nice
[07:00.75]Is this really where our passion goes?
[07:01.50]Take only what you need and be on your way
[07:02.46]Is this really where our energy flows?
[07:17.94]Take only what you need and be on your way
