Pendragon - This Green and Pleasant Land (live)
***
Our country is cobbled lanes of London town
The valleys of Wales the Devon tides
Built on hard won freedom honour and pride
The valleys of Wales the Devon tides
Built on hard won freedom honour and pride
***
So it's crazy it seems
We've become helpless like babies again
Just waiting for someone or something
To bail us out at the slightest twinge of pain
***
My grandad Michael Barrett took shrapnel in the neck
Uncle Ken was a padre in Burma he returned a living wreck
Uncle John was a major and was stranded on the shoreline at Dunkirk
***
It's beyond my comprehension this kind of sacrifice
So many gave themselves up
And in the end so many would fall
It's not legal to say what I think anymore
Cos I don't believe in sharia law
But I can honestly say we've pissed it up the wall
***
Can we please stop all this madness before it's too late
No one takes responsibility and wants a free life on a plate
He can close the door switch off the light
Stick his head deep in the sand
The death throes of this green and pleasant land
***
Is this really where our passion goes?
Is this really where our energy flows?
***
I awoke on Christmas day
But Christmas is a word you can no longer say
***
Is this really where our passion goes?
Is this really where our energy flows?
***
The hospitals are just another business plan
Like justice and the law of the land
An old war hero dies of cold alone in his flat
While Brutish Gas and their shareholders are getting richer getting fat
***
Take only what you need and be on your way
Is this really where our passion goes?
Take only what you need and be on your way
Is this really where our energy flows?
Take only what you need and be on your way
***
Everybody hears but nobody listens
Empathy oh empathy
***
The robot people with robot answers
Invasion of the bodysnatchers is here finally
***
10:58 Wootton Bassett every tuesday that plane goes right over my head
Cos I can't get the drugs for cancer of the kidney my life is in the hands of Something called Nice how nice
***
Is this really where our passion goes?
Take only what you need and be on your way
Is this really where our energy flows?
Take only what you need and be on your way
***
So it's crazy it seems
We've become helpless like babies again
Just waiting for someone or something
To bail us out at the slightest twinge of pain
