Well, he talks with a Polish accent,
And he works with a sense of pride
He said, 'If you think you've had it hard,
I'll swap your life with mine.'
He works his fucking bollocks off
for four-fifty an hour,
Said 'the economy in Poland is even worse than our one.'
So tradesmen all 'round England
all start to lose their jobs,
And everybody understands when
they all got pissed off.
Well, none of them are racist, but they
don't know what to do
When you can't afford the mortgage,
and you can't afford the food.
Is this the economics of recession?
Or xenophobia?
Well, let's just hope that we don't end up
hating one another,
'Cause I can't see the point in that.
(Chorus)
And it goes, War! Recession! Recession, and then war!
It's written in the history books, we've seen it all before,
Oh, sing a song of freedom, and all I can say is,
Just don't believe the bullshit. (Oh, just don't believe the bullshit.)
Well, there's trouble in the Gaza Strip again today,
It's a never-ending conflict, all the newspapers say it.
The war is a religious one, that's hard to understand,
But there isn't a religion that said to kill another man.
Should we blame it on the ones who sold 'em weapons?
Or extremist religious twats?
Well, let's just hope that they don't end up killing everybody,
'Cause I can't see the point in that.
(Repeat Chorus)
