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 worshipping
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

I thought I was through the woods
To meet you on the other side
Though your betrayal was still raw
There was pleading in your eyes
I rushed to heal my wounds
Just to make sure I was there
And still bleeding from your cheating tongue
I was open for you to share
But no wonder that you wouldn’t tell
Who had put you through that hell
No wonder it was only me
And no-one else would believe
For each #metoo you made their struggle much harder
Those heartless bullies is who you give the power
The abuse and the violence
The cruel injustice
Is not a toy to play with at your petty convenience
But forget the hours I wasted crying
For your fabricated suffering
Forget the friends you pushed away
They’d all see through the lies one day
Forget the one you would destroy
And the sympathy you could exploit
You walked all over every victim
To excuse yourself of your wrongdoing
There’s far too many people I love
Who’ve faced the horror that you dare to speak of
With your deception you spit in the tears
They wept for decades fighting just to get through this
I won’t let this make their struggle much harder
Those heartless bullies they have way too much power
The abuse and the violence
The cruel injustice
Cannot be dismissed despite your reckless decisions
And I will always listen
That’s why this song was written
