Don't count your chickens

Don’t count your chickens

 

 

The kids are hungry, the heat’s not on.

Food shops empty, trains don’t run

Who’d have thought we’d have so much fun

Now we've taken back our country.

 

 

Don’t count your chickens a wise man said,

you’re a short time living and a long time dead.

There’s egg on your face if they don’t come home

And you’re standing in the cold alone.

 

Hold your passport above your head

Is it blue or is it red?

Red ones are looking better fed.

Now we’ve taken back our country.

 

Don’t count your chickens a wise man said,

you’re a short time living and a long time dead.

There’s egg on your face if they don’t come home

And you’re standing in the cold alone.

 

They told us, entry to the promised land

needs a blue passport clutched in your right hand...

The promised land don’t look so grand

now we’ve taken back our country.

 

 

The rich build walls while the poor folk riot.

NHS run down so the Yanks could buy it.

If you raise a ruckus you’re told to be quiet

Is this really what you voted for?

 

They told us, entry to the promised land

needs a blue passport clutched in your right hand.

The promised land don’t look so grand

now we’ve taken back our country.
