Written for the #songsparkmarch2025 challenge: "Write a protest song"

They opened up our borders - Its enough to make you weep They put em up in smart hotels while vets sleep on the street Pensioners are freezing, The Farmers are bled dry and all the politicians do is lie and lie and lie Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive. They let the convicts out of jail to give them some more room to lock up thought crime posters for crimes that they assume They call the people 'far right wing' then tell them to go to war But no-one is allowed to ask 'What we fighting for?' Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive. Break Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive. They give away our money to those in foreign lands Spaff the rest on hair-brain schemes that fit-in with their plans If you dare to question them, you'll find yourself banged-up you're out of time, out of line and now you're out of luck Welcome to the UK. Turn off the lights when you leave Welcome to the UK. You give but don't receive. x
