[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Fat of the land
Juice of the people
Won't save the prayer room
Won't save the steeple
Walking the country
Cycling the lanes
Thatched cottage houses
Sink on Somerset plains
[Verse 2]
Now the Australians
Sick of their sun
Abandoned beach volleyball
And Bondi Beach bum
Italians and Spanish
The Portuguese too
Will gradually move north from
Mediterranean stew
[Chorus]
They put up their borders
More passport controls
Separate countries
Divide up our souls
But look out your window
Check out the weather
It's global warming
That'll bring us together
[Verse 3]
Out the aeroplane window
The mountains below
Gone is the winter
Gone is the snow
Go to the Alps now
Pick up your skis
Up in the chairlift
Warm is the breeze
[Verse 4]
Yours are the dry slopes
Phoney the snow
Our flight to get there
So caused it to go
You piss in the river
Shit on the land
Leave all your plastic
Washed up on the sand
[Chorus]
They put up their borders
More passport controls
Separate countries
Divide up our souls
But look out your window
Check out the weather
It's global warming
That'll bring us together
[Bridge]
Go tell the sisters (Go tell the sisters)
Talk to the brothers (Talk to the brothers)
The lifestyle we're living (The lifestyle we're living)
It strangles and smothers (It strangles and smothers)
Let lessons be learned
Let song be sung
Treat your own country
Like you do your own lungs
[Outro]
