The Truth as I see it.



You hear a lot in the media and papers today
About goverment spin that won't go away
They tell us we are wealthy,we can pay our debts.
Yet the printing od new money as reached new depths
They tell us our troops are dying to save us all.
But the Taliban and Bin laden, don't play ball.
Yet we must fight the Taliban is all they say
To keep our streets free for tomorrow and today.
Yet our freedom of speech as been eroded away
And our borders are open to people of every sway.
No one knows who's here now, a lot don't speak English.
It used to feel good to look at our flag, and say that you were British
I think those brave men who fought in the battle for Britain, died in vain
Because our Green and Pleasant land as been sold down the drain
