Lyrics

we are a proud land, we stand for freedom, we've got the franchise, on how to lead them, we've got the history, and books to prove it, give us the mountain, and we will move it, we rule the waves, and, the seven seas, we, bring the mighty, to their knees, we offer hope, and inspiration, a fine example, to lesser nations, we are britannia, jewel in the crown, we brought a system, to the masses, divide a nation, into classes, it's in our breeding, and on our faces, at least we're all born, knowing our places, we stay within our, social borders, we only take what, our class affords us, it doesn't matter, that it's not even, this is the nature, of the demon, we are britannia, jewel in the crown, we are britannia, we crowned an empire, we came and conquered, we tore their borders down, we need no conscience, god is on our side, we are britannia, jewel in the crown, we are your friendly, liberators, we'll free you countries, from your dictators, for a small slice, of your oil wells, we'll send our boys in, with their bombshells, we are a refuge, for the needy, always caring, never greedy, whatever gesture, could be finer, we've given hong kong, back to china, we are britannia, jewel in the crown, jewel in the crown, jewel in the crown, jewel in the crown
