Beyond the Queen, beyond her majesty
And the majestic lean that her princes seem to see
There lies at her feet a Shakespearean tragedy
'Cause in her country lies a million mimes and a million years of time
So when Kayla comes a-fleeing from the warring Israel
Becomes an immigrant in a council flat in northern Camberwell
And well it's overwhelmin' that she's on the land where Chaucer dwelled
Finds a job as a waitress and is quite comfy for a spell
Then when she's more apt with English wishes tend to swell
And her ambitions stretch beyond the point [?]
And due to here complexion some will there decide that she
Is an intruder, a bloodsucker of the soul of their country
They all go for hell
So they egg her door to make her life hell as well
She has grown to know it well
And she can tell that England is unwell
They are so frustrated 'cause England means equality for all
But they're a walking contradiction 'cause you aren't so equal when you're poor
Now Shagrinda came illegally but that's beside the point
He was sure that he'd be clean of sin once he had been anointed
By the sun and the rain of England
And he'd be able to sustain in England
And maybe he would gain in England
But he was soon to see the pain in England
He saw a woman beaten up by roadmen in dark tops
And high on English chivalry he gave chase and [?] stop
But when he did catch up with them they stabbed him and he dropped
He never rose again, but a country swelled
Where a hero rose and fell
He'd grown to know it well
And he could tell that England was unwell
They are so frustrated 'cause England means honor and generosity
But they're a walking contradiction 'cause they're full of so much hostility
Come, come along by an English song, sarcasms of the press
Forget is all, 'cause naturally her part, it won't suffice
I know it well and I know it true, I've lived here all my life
Something in the air I feel just doesn't sit quite right
Should I voice my worries, I'm a conscientious lad
Maybe I shouldn't, hell, praytell
Well England is unwell
I've grown to know it well
And I can tell that England is unwell
