lyrics

ALBION TOWN

Sold a lie
By the chin-less clown
Albion sings it's bloody song
The elected blue bloods whistle along
The doors are closed the borders shut down
We're all prisoners in Albion town

What is good? What is right?
The bumbling fool clad in delight
The smile of fakery, the lying through teeth
The Union Jack flutters like leaf
Sold a lie
In Albion town

Tea stained gob and blood red lips
They hold back the cackle as the real truth hits
To be isolated in a haven from tax
The truest colours show through the cracks
Sold a lie
In Albion town

Chorus

INSTRUMENTAL

Puppet doll with sawdust brains
The puppeteer strings her up with chains
Holding hands with the devil himself
The wishes of the people left high on the shelf
Sold a lie
In Albion town

Chorus
