Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If we're not sure you're still alive
We will poke you with a stick
We'll lift you up, inspect you
Working out if you are sick
The way that we're all acting
We're either privileged or thick
One thing I think we'll all agree on
Fools are conquering nation
[PreChorus]
Usually the patriot to just two persons true
Their fine handsome selves, reflections too
Union flags, matching shorts and socks
When you hate all Cockneys, Brummies, Scousers
Geordies, Taffs and Jocks
[Chorus]
So sleep with one eye open
Sleep with your legs shut tight
Check both your shoulders frequently
And make sure you keep well out of sight
And if scaring total strangers is
The most fun you've ever had
You're gonna love working the salt mines
In the bitter cold of Heatongrad
[Verse 2]
Oh, if we're not sure you're genuine
We will throw you out of your house
Take you to the nearest border
Screaming at you "raus raus raus"
You can watch as both your car and home
In unleaded petrol we'll douse
Coin be tossed and fingers crossed
Enjoy your forced vacation
[PreChorus]
To one skin colour and just two persons loyal
The billionaire and favourite little royal
Devotion only tramps you down in dirt
Gets you grovelling to your boss
In a retro England football shirt
[Chorus]
So sleep with one eye open
Sleep with your legs shut tight
Check both your shoulders frequently
And make sure you keep well out of sight
And if scaring total strangers is
The most fun you've ever had
You're gonna love working the salt mines
In the bitter cold of Heatongrad
[Chorus]
So sleep with one eye open
Sleep with your legs shut tight
Check both your shoulders frequently
And make sure you keep well out of sight
And if scaring total strangers is
The most fun you've ever had
You're gonna love working the salt mines
In the bitter cold of Heatongrad
