Lyrics

You risked your life for this country when you were young
Never questioned orders that they gave
'Cos the love of the red white and blue was in your heart
And I never thought I'd ever see the day, when I'd hear you say

Chorus:
Now look at a sick society, look back in time
Now look at a sick society, who commits the crime?

You did your time for king & country overseas
Spent years to keep this nation free
Now you're not allowed to walk the british streets today
And you're fighting 'gainst a foe you cannot see, and I hear you say

(Repeat chorus)

When you wanna march in a democratic fashion
Through the streets of the country that you love
Then you're struck down by a mob of screaming monkeys
Raining with bricks from above, and I hear you say

(Repeat chorus)

Middle eight:
We remember the things that you have done
Against all odds you would not run
We remember the life you gladly gave
Put an english rose upon your grave

(Repeat chorus)

Now you have died, whilst fighting for your country
Fighting 'gainst an enemy that's within
Now I'll make a promise to your memory, albert mariner
We'll keep on fighting, until we win
Yeah, we'll never forget you

(Repeat chorus) x2
