Pointing the finger at dear old England, old England doesn't care (x2)
You know I'm pointing the finger at dear old England, does anybody care?
We could have been poets, something strong
We could have been leaders for life long
We could have been geniuses every one
But England's empire is fading away
It's fading away, oh happy day That's why...
)
We could have been workmen, true artisans
Real strong people, women and man
We could have been heroes sailing the sea
But England's empire doesn't matter to me
I know it's gone, it's gone and I feel free
That's why...
)
You know I'm pointing the finger at dear old England, does anybody care?
We could have been saviours
We could have been priests
We could have been something strong and neat
We could have been tidy, we could have been clean
But England's empire is no longer on the scene
And humanity is not so green Alright
Could have been something on the scene
You realize humanity is not so green
That's why...
)
Well now I'm sleeping in my bed
Love got a cool and clear head
I see the future, I see it all
And I don't belong to any empire
I'm not going to crawl
And I don't belong to your empire
I'm not going to crawl
That's why...
