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
