lyrics

MERRY OLDE ENGLAND

robber barons on the make in merry old england
sherriff's on the take in merry old england
another bloody plague in merry old england
poor people yearn for good king richard to return
*
cant afford the rent in merry old england
coz I haven't got a cent in merry old england
soon be living in a tent in merry old england
poor people yearn for good king richard to return
*
hundred years war in merry old england
who's keeping the score in merry old england
cant take anymore in merry old england
poor people yearn for good king richard to return
*
burdened with tax in merry old england
breaking our backs in merry old england
clothed in sacks in merry old england
poor people yearn for good king richard to return
*
money for the rich in merry old england
but life is a bitch in merry old england
when you cant afford a stitch in merry old england
poor people yearn for good king richard to return
*
