1979 Songtext
von Calling All Astronauts
1979 Songtext
Repatriation, what does this mean?
A fascist plan, a conservative dream
Send them home, send them back
Get them out, they′re brown, they're black
Britain for the white, Eire for the green
Send the Jews to Palestine so we don′t seem mean
The Scots, the Welsh, get them out too
They're not welcome here
Euthanise them if they're elderly
Convert them if they′re queer
Marginalise the subnormal
Experiment on the lame
If they don′t agree with you, just flush them down the drain
Now this thing they call religion, it's all got out of hand
You know they′ve got an army who won't fight to save our land
They′ve all got faith in a man called God
Or so some of them say
Just don't understand it
Deport them anyway
Now England′s for the English and all the rest have gone The factories have all been silenced
The work has all been done
It's ended up just one man left
Alone and in good health
But then one day he took ill
And had to shoot himself
So if your country's not quite right
No work, no rest, no play
Blame it on the government
Make sure it′s them who pay
Don′t blame it on the blacks
Don't blame it on the Jews
And don′t elect the far-right scum
Because you've got too much to lose
Will we ever see the day?
Will we ever see the day?
Will we ever see the day?
Will we ever see the day?
When your hatred will go away?
A fascist plan, a conservative dream
Send them home, send them back
Get them out, they′re brown, they're black
Britain for the white, Eire for the green
Send the Jews to Palestine so we don′t seem mean
The Scots, the Welsh, get them out too
They're not welcome here
Euthanise them if they're elderly
Convert them if they′re queer
Marginalise the subnormal
Experiment on the lame
If they don′t agree with you, just flush them down the drain
Now this thing they call religion, it's all got out of hand
You know they′ve got an army who won't fight to save our land
They′ve all got faith in a man called God
Or so some of them say
Just don't understand it
Deport them anyway
Now England′s for the English and all the rest have gone The factories have all been silenced
The work has all been done
It's ended up just one man left
Alone and in good health
But then one day he took ill
And had to shoot himself
So if your country's not quite right
No work, no rest, no play
Blame it on the government
Make sure it′s them who pay
Don′t blame it on the blacks
Don't blame it on the Jews
And don′t elect the far-right scum
Because you've got too much to lose
Will we ever see the day?
Will we ever see the day?
Will we ever see the day?
Will we ever see the day?
When your hatred will go away?
