Complicit

 You have to admit 

We are complicit in the Uk

With the crimes against the Ukraine

Everytime a business person accepts a shady deal here 

From a Russian billionaire or 

An estate agent arranges a meeting with a millionaire

To buy a penhouse suite in London

Or Prime real estate elsewhere


Or the same with the Chinese money

That floods into Europe and Africa

Or British tech firms

We have invited them in with one hand

Giving the signal come in we want your finance

We can be bought

We are greedy, that is our weakness

They know this


With the other hand we say come no further

Look at the mighty West, we have Nato

And our missiles will aim at you,

We want to spread our values into the East
