Europe is leaking
The ship is going down
Crossing the English stream
Cashing in on the crown
Lives are overboard
There are no barriers or guards
This lack -loose feeling is nothing so hard
So where is the deterrent?
The message is Come!
Come gentle migrant
We welcome all with warm arms
Yet only the policy of no
kill and no fence
Is keeping these migrants
From a starving offence
Sure Britain maybe heaven
But really it's not
It's rainy, it's over crowded
And the politics is rot
No one speaks truths worth hearing
Ah the lies are afloat
We cling to them like dinghies
Our lies are our life boats
Collective misappraisal
And mutual illusion
We fall under the spell
of a Government delusion
But we get the politicians
That we want they say
Ultimately this policy of come in
Is just the way
That we collectively would like it to be
But where say the ones with murderous looks
Will it ever stop? Where in the history books
That perhaps they have read but probably not
As it's all just a rhetoric of fear that is hot
On their minds in their souls
And in their pockets at the bar
When they find they are empty it
Reopens a scar
Of inadequacy at their situation
At the powerless plight
Of the underclasses who are still
Down trodden despite their best fight
And then they reach for scape goats
To fire bomb at night
Or hark back to old England
Which they believe they love or might
Yet probably they hate this rainy old isle
Probably they envy the migrants'
Brave style
To fling themselves in dinghies and escape
The drowning ship
Yet it is also a castle fortress
That holds their hearts in its grip
And though like the Titanic we might
Swim for the shore
Can we really turn aside
From the drowning migrant poor?
They hardly are invading,
They are being rescued out to sea
But there is a policy of policing
France's border which foolish laws oversee
Coupled with faulty advertising
Of Britain as the land of the free
When they are in the migrant camps
They wonder where is the friendly cup of tea?
So don't let's blame it all on these ambitious souls
Who are taking advantage of opportunities
We leave them like trails of sweets and coals
To follow to our door and then
Refuse to let them in?
First change the broadcast message
If the truth of it is paper thin
Tell them it will be a struggle
And they will likely not find proper work
They'll be at the mercy of stronger gangs
Who will exploit them like the hawks
They are and as the weak they will be prey
For the system will likely forget about them
It will be no holiday
If after some years they establish a home
It will likely be in an enclave of a large city
That will be like to them ancient Rome
And The bread and circuses
Will have them battling for their lives
They'll miss their homes and families
Be separated from their wives
So is it all really worth it
To set off from foreign shore
All to find some riches
When in their hearts they'll be poor
