F#
  It's a good old-fashioned landslide

                  G#m
Killing with your hands tied

                          B
In the homemade road, set sail
Babe, we read it in The Mail, no hope now
F#
  And it's a total fucking whitewash

                   G#m
The people that we might squash

                              B
And move from home soil, set sail

                                   F#
For wherever the fuck got oil this time
And if it's not a fucking war crime
                      G#m
It's a total waste of your time
And getting so much worse
          B
Get real, kid, your country's been at war since birth now

F#                                                  G#m
  And if it's not a fucking outrage, what's it all about then?
Now, it's one on one
      B
Great Britain's gonna tell you where it all went wrong and then carry on

Great acting as well, what you tell 'em
G#m
  Great Britain won't stand for felons

  Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting as well, what you tell 'em
G#m
