Tea And Biscuit Despotism

By Billy Rock Mitchell

Hail the king 

Glory to this quaint land of polite folk

Hail the monarch

Glory to this empire stronger than ever

Pledge allegiance to the head of state

Pledge allegiance to your true culture

Pledge yourself to this wonderful hate

Pledge your future to this lurid vulture

This is all normal business as usual

Tea, biscuits and cake galore

State violence and freakish gore

The firm is secure 

The family is strong

A stable Hanoverian yolk

Nothing to fear 

No bad joke

See how the yanks love us so 

Don't you see the world loves the great aristo show

You will love us as you once did this we surely know

Ignore the crimes and the thievery

That's all in the past

Ignore the trappings of despotism that line our carriages

Ignore the fuck ups and the previous failed marriages

God save the King

God save Britain 

God save us from obscurity and irrelevancy

Now let's sing the praises of this great nation

Now let's sing to this tea and biscuit despotism
