Welcome to the house of politicians
Telling lies to sell you down the river
They paint you a picture of how it can be
But I'm not sure we all agree
It's such a strange mixture of uncertainty
I'm wondering what it means to me
I can't let go of what I see
How you change your history
The party's over for you and me
Goodbye
And it's a cruel, cruel Britannia
(Tell me what am I going with)
Cruel, cruel Britannia
(Them damn people so lying 'bout it)
And it's a cruel, cruel Britannia
(Oh, let God know what am I going with)

The bed was so rosy
The talk was all cheap
And life was so cozy that first week
All fun and sushi
Dressed up so sweet
Catching a dose of reality
So let's pretend to trip on sand
On your bike once again
You can't deny it's all a lie
Goodbye
And it's a cruel, cruel Britannia
(Them people love the sweet taste of it)
Cruel, cruel Britannia
(Make everything seem so nice)
And it's a cruel, cruel Britannia
(Them love a lump and them a trouble lump, yeah)
Feeling so low but I can't let go
Goodbye love, goodbye happiness
Happiness
ย
Feeling so low but I can't let go
Goodbye love, goodbye happiness
Happiness
The smell of the street is funkier now
You better watch out, it may explode
The people you meet are feeling their power
They wanna get back some life control
I can't cut loose from what I know
I got no choice, can't sink that low
I may get bruised, but what the hell
Goodbye
And it's a cruel, cruel Britannia
(Them love the sweet taste of it)
Cruel, cruel Britannia
(Make everything seem so nice)
And it's a cruel, cruel Britannia
(Them love a lump and them a trouble lump, yeah)
Cruel, cruel Britannia
(Every day in every way)
Cruel Britannia
(What am I gonna do?)
Cruel Britannia
(What am I feeling so?)
Cruel Britannia
(My people are the time)
