[Intro]
[Verse]
G            D        C 
Margaret Thatcher on TV
               G                D           C 
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
      G                D           C 
Seems strange that she should be offended
         G          D        C 
The same orders are given by her
G         D           C 
I've said this before now
               G            D             C 
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
G    D          C 
Remember what I told you
    G         D             C 
If they hated me, they will hate you
[Chorus]
                  G        D       C 
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
         G       D               C 
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
     G        D        C 
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
         G               D                 C 
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
[Verse]
G            D             C 
Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m.
G           D            C 
Looking for food for her kids
       G              D          C 
In her arms she holds three cold babies
        G               D                 C 
And the first word that they learned was "Please"
G         D         C 
These are dangerous days
                G          D             C 
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
G    D          C 
Remember what I told you
       G           D                C 
If you were of the world they would love you
[Chorus]
                  G        D       C 
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
         G       D               C 
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
     G        D        C 
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
         G               D                 C 
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
