A young boy tightens the belt on his baggy jeansAnd checks out his spiky hairLooks into the mirror and smiles to himselfAs he wonders what to wearHe says bye to his sister, she kisses his faceHis mother clears the plates"Be careful out there and you have some funBut remember don't be late."Made in Britain with a different skinAnd a heart like you and meThis may sound dumbBut something's wrongThis kingdom ain't so freeEngland, bloody EnglandMy Power and GloryAfter all the trials of historyCan we write a better story?DisUnited KingdomHe walks the road but somehow takes a different pathAnd realises bit too lateIt's the wrong side of town where something went downFinds it's one against eightAnd though he can't see the knife he feels the blade stingAs it pierces through his skinSongtexteThere's blood everywhere he can't see or hearIs this the world that we live in?Made in Britain with a different skinBut a heart like you and meThis may sound dumbBut something's wrongThis kingdom ain't so freeEngland, bloody EnglandMy Power and GloryAfter all the trials of historyCan we write a better story?DisUnited KingdomThe screams of his family are louder than hisAs they hear about his deathHe's only a boy he's just started outNow he's breathed his final breathAnd what of us in England ask those hearts of stoneIs this to be our way?And after all the bloody historyDo the children have to pay?Made in Britain with a different skinBut a heart like you and meThis may sound dumbBut something's wrongThis kingdom ain't so freeEngland, bloody EnglandMy Power and GloryAfter all the trials of historyCan we write a better story?DisUnited KingdomEach child is loved the sameEach person the same hopes and dreams, aspirations for the futureEach parent wants the best for their childEach child is loved and in need of loving, regardless of where they live, how they speak, and what they eatWho says what's in a funny name?Take away the different accent and the initial wave of resentment, then get used to it, or don't get used to it Open up your mind and start to enjoy the world you've been placed in whether you like it or not.
