They opened up our borders - Its enough to make you weep
They put em up in smart hotels while vets sleep on the street
Pensioners are freezing, The Farmers are bled dry
and all the politicians do is lie and lie and lie
Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave
Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive.
They let the convicts out of jail to give them some more room
to lock up thought crime posters for crimes that they assume
They call the people 'far right wing' then tell them to go to war
But no-one is allowed to ask 'What we fighting for?'
Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave
Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive.
Break
Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave
Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive.
They give away our money to those in foreign lands
Spaff the rest on hair-brain schemes that fit-in with their plans
If you dare to question them, you'll find yourself banged-up
you're out of time, out of line and now you're out of luck
Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave
Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive.
