And they’ll pass the buck and cover it up and distort every hand
‘Til the picture that they’re painting is too hard to understand
And the canvas stretches over every border of every land
Cross the trade routes and religions and those bodies in the sand

And if we’re after Britain first then we should probably be last
Before UK independence we should give back what isn’t ours
Like the shirts and ties wear wearing made by slaves from afar
But those shirts and ties can’t hide the emblems tattoo’d on their hearts

And we should give back all the oceans and the islands and the sky
Cause they don’t belong to any man and no man has the right
To tell another human being that their access is denied
To any corner of this planet or any moment of their lives
