"They want our way of life"

Well, they can take mine any time they like

'Cos god knows - I know I ain't living right:

I'm wrong

Oh, I know I'm so wrong

So like the Roman Empire fell away

Let me tell you; we are going the same way

Ah, behold the Decline and Fall

All hold hands with our backs to the wall

It's the end:

Why don't you admit it?

It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich

Evil comes

I know from not where

But if you take a look inside yourself -

maybe you'll find some in there

Not one single soul was saved

I was ordering an Indian takeaway

I was spared whilst others went to an early grave

Oh, got stoned

Yeah, went out and got stoned

Well if your ancestors could see you standing there

They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire

They had to fight just to survive

So can't you do something with your life?

It's the end:

Why don't you admit it?

It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich

Evil comes

I know from not where

But if you take a look inside yourself -

maybe you'll find some in there

Here it comes, why don't you embrace it?

You lack the guts needed to face it

Say goodbye to the way you've been living

You never realised you were on the wrong side

And nobody's going to win

"They want our way of life"

Well, they can take mine any time they like
