lyrics

Welcome to your quarters
Please and thanks, please and thanks
If your strands are right please feel free to climb the ranks
Meet the colonies they’d love to have you, we’ll fetch the tea
But with your help of course

Terribly sorry for the chokehold but we told you don’t get cute,
We can’t have the pretty hat showing up the suit
Sign here, sign here
Climb aboard but don’t steer
Remember do as we do
There’s more of us than you

You’re with the big boys now, those skirts are letting us down
And watch that barbaric tongue
Your queen will show how it’s done

Now you’re with us let’s address the mess on lands upon high
Clear and burn your people, sheep will do the job just fine

Hope you like your new flag
We’re waving it high
As we starve four million beastly people to death for me, myself and I

The Empire’s members mustn’t get soppy
Erect a statue of our fearless leader now slap on this poppy

Lest they forget you were party to this
You had a voice, you had a choice
Bare your throat or your wrist

Three hundred years we’ve been sharing this bed
Now you’ve got the gall to call for other options in stead

I said it once when you hopped in
Don’t make me say it again
I know what’s best for you you’ll always crawl back home in the end.

I’ll cross the box for you
I’ll spend your cash for you
I’ll drop the bombs for you
I’ll slap the flag on our tanks for you
