Oh My Country

[Verse 1]
Oh my country
Oh my country of blood and lust
Of heart and pain, of death and rust
Of shining sea and golden plain
Of poison piss and covered reign
Of hope and pride and filament
Of theft and sly embitterment
Of ownership, of stolen thought
Of reproduction, risk and rot
Of riddles rife with certainty
Of selling joy with heresy

[Verse 2]
Oh my country, 'tis of thee
My children dream of in their sleep
The boogeyman, the buttered bread
The hooligan, the color red
The blood that spills on muddy streets
The ground that swells the chickens' feet
It's more than one can еver say
Oh my country, flags will fray

[Hook]
Oh my country
Oh my country
Oh my country
Oh my country

[Verse 3]
Oh my country, you were born
As a branch from a tree of thorns
A poisonеd apple, poisoned tree
You've fallen far, but roots run deep
We're gonna have to cut 'em out
They won't survive the coming drought
They won't survive liberty
For one and all, equality

[Outro]
Oh my country
Oh my country
You told me you belonged to me
Oh my country
You told me you belonged to me (Oh my country)
You told me you belonged to me (Oh my country, oh my country)
You told me you belonged to me (Oh my country, oh my country)
You told me you belonged to me (Oh my country, oh my country)
You told me you belonged to me
