Unicef Kingdom Lyrics

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 worshiping

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
