Out Of Karma - Green And Pleasant Land

Pay the ferry man to let you sail
Say goodbye to your sons and daughters
Tell your wife to prepare for bonded labour
It costs so much these days just to be a slave.
Welcome to the green and pleasant land
They'll take your picture but they'll make you dance
To their tune they're going to make you rock
And shack you up like a rabbit in a concrete block
They'll make you swear allegiance to the crown
The crown that burned your house right down
The crown that stole the Kohi Noor from the ground
If you resist
You'll be prison bound
It's a green and pleasant land,
Golden sands and rolling hills
Forgotten children walking hand in hand
Amongst the dark satanic mills
Never mind the help you give the economy
Never mind the help you give the community
Never mind your day and night misery
They'll never let you be a part of their society
And you can trade what you want wherever you want
So long as you pay the big fish in the pond
Don't want you to be anti-establishment
They want you to be an illegal alien
And you can have your food you can have your spice
They'll eat your curry takeaway your rice
But do as they say, not as they do
It's their country and they won't share it with you.
It's a green and pleasant land,
Golden sands and rolling hills
Country vicars having Sunday tea, so far from reality
Don't care for you, Don't Care for me no
So pay the ferryman to take you back
But you don't have any money in the bank
Sinking in the sea big fish on your back
Welcome my friend to this green and pleasant land
