Verse 1
(A minor) At (C major) night the (G major) Baby Broth (A minor) erhood
(G major) and the (F major) Inter (E minor) City (A minor) Crew
(F major) Fill their (C major) pockets up (G major) with call (A minor) ing cards
(G major) And paint their (F major) faces
red (E minor) white and (A minor) blue
Then they (C major) go out seeking
different coloured (E major) faces
And anyone (A minor) else that they can (F major) scare
And they sa (C major) lute the foes (G major)
their fath (A minor) ers fought
(G major) By raising (F major) their right hands (E minor) in the air (A minor) .
Oh look how (G major) my country's pat
(E major) riots are (A minor) hunting down below (F major)
What (C major) do they know (E minor) (F major) of England
(G major) who only England (A minor) know?
Verse 2
From the stands (C major) of the (G major) Empire Sta (A minor) dium
(G major) Come the (F major) heralds of the (E minor) New Dark (A minor) Age
(F major) With the sim (C major) plicities (G major) of (A minor) bigotry
(G major) And to whom (F major) all the world's (E minor) a stage (A minor)
These (C major) little John (E major)
Bullshits know that the (A minor) press
Will glorify their (F major) feats
So that the (C major) general pub (G major) lic fear (A minor) them
(G major) And the au (F major) thorities say
(E major) give 'em all (A minor) seats
And the wasted (G major) seed of the (E major) bulldog breed
Is (A minor) shouting "Here we (F major) go!"
What (C major) do they (E minor) know of (F major) England
(G major) who only England (A minor) know?

Verse 3
Our (C major) neighbours shake (G major) their head (A minor) s
And take (G major) their valu (F major) ables (E minor) inside
(A minor) (F major) While my (C major) countrymen
(G major) piss in their (A minor) fountain (G major) s
To express (F major) our na (E major) tional pride (A minor)
And to prove (C major) to the world that England (E major)
Is just as (A minor) rotten as she (F major) looks
They re (C major) peat the lies (G major)
that caught (A minor) their eyes (G major)
At (F major) school in (E minor) history book (A minor) s
But the wars (G major) they think
they're fight (E major) ing
Were all over (A minor) long ago (F major)
What (C major) do they (E minor) know of (F major) England (G major) who only England (A minor)

Verse 4
And the so (C major) ciety that spawned (E major) them
Just (A minor) cries out "Who's to (F major) blame?"
And then (C major) wraps itself (G major) in the (A minor) Union Jack (G major)
And just (F major) carries on (E minor) the same (A minor)
Oh look out (G major) , my country's pat (E major) riots are
(A minor) hunting down below (F major) (C major) (E minor) (F major) (C major) (E major) (F major)
What do (C major) they (E major) know of (F major) England
(G major) who only England know?
