“America is a Gun,” Brian Bilston England is a cup of tea. France, a wheel of ripened brie. Greece, a short, squat olive tree. America is a gun. Brazil is football on the sand. Argentina, Maradona’s hand. Germany, an oompah band. America is a gun. Holland is a wooden shoe. Hungary, a goulash stew. Australia, a kangaroo. America is a gun. Japan is a thermal spring. Scotland is a highland fling. Oh, better to be anything than America as a gun.

Lyrics Kevan Hughes You're angry that 'your' queen is dead And you know that I don't care You're angry that I don't recognise Her 'rightful Son and Heir' You're angry that I don't show 'respect' To something I don't believe You're angry that I have the freedom To choose when I should grieve You're angry, that unlike you, I wasn't put upon this earth To bow and scrape and know my place, Like some medieval serf You're Angry that somehow, I'm allowed a point of view You're angry when you realise I don't agree with you You're angry that I don't embrace Your feudalistic rules You're angry because you know that I despise Such grovelling, fawning fools But you see, I am angry too About so many different things Born in a world of sycophants, And all the grief it brings I'm angry at the BBC, the Daily Mail, The morons that they quote The puerile propaganda They're ramming down my throat I'm angry that I'm mourning, For a vision that has gone Angry that we can't make a world That works for everyone I'm angry that we're still held back By forelock tuggers such as you Angry that you're wedded to your masters And your own outdated view I'm angry that you worship The people at the top Your whole world's an anachronism It really has to stop. Kevan Hughes
