lyrics

If the Queen had a vote, who would she vote for
Would she vote for the rich, or vote for the poor?
Would she vote for change or for the status quo?
Would she vote to remain or vote to go?
Would she vote with her head or vote with her arse?
Would she vote for the patriotic working class?
Would she vote with her head or vote with her feet?
Would she vote for the metropolitan elite?

If the Queen had a pound how would she spend it
Would she give it to you or would she lend it?
Would she wait for change or for the status quo?
Would she spend it to remain or spend it to go?
Would she spend it with her head or spend it with her arse?
Would she spend it on the patriotic working class?
Would she spend it with her head or spend it with her feet?
Would she lend it to the metropolitan elite?

Wat Tyler says I want my country back
Wat Tyler says I want my country back
Wat Tyler says I want my country back
Wat Tyler says I want my country back

And the Queen says Wat “what for?”
This country has never belonged to the poor
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
So just run along now peasants thanks

And John Ball says I want my country back
John Ball says I want my country back
John Ball says I want my country back
John Ball says I want my country back

And the Queen says to John Ball well you’re wrong
It’s always been my country so jog on
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
So just run along now peasants thanks

If the Queen had a hammer, would she hammer in the morning?
Would she hammer on the rich or hammer on the poor men?
Would she hammer for change or for the status quo?
Would she hammer to remain or hammer to go?
Would she hammer with her head or hammer with her arse?
Would she hammer for the patriotic working class?
Would she hammer with her head or hammer with her feet?
Would she hammer on the metropolitan elite?

So, the Queen says to me and the Queen says to you
It’s my country so fuck you
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
It belongs to the monarchy and the banks
So just run along now peasants thanks

If the Queen had a hammer, would she hammer in the morning?
Would she hammer on the rich or on the poor men?
Would she hammer for change or for the status quo?
Would she hammer to remain or hammer to go?
Would she hammer with her head or hammer with her arse?
Would she hammer for the patriotic working class?
Would she hammer with her head or hammer with her feet?
Would she hammer on the metropolitan elite?
Would she hammer on the metropolitan elite?
