God save the queen We mean it man We love our queen God saves God save the queen We mean it man There's no future In England's dreaming God save the queen No future No future No future for you No future No future No future for me No future No future No future for you
God save the queen 'Cause tourists are money And our figurehead Is not what she seems Oh God save history God save your mad parade Oh Lord God have mercy All crimes are paid Oh when there's no future How can there be sin We're the flowers In the dustbin We're the poison In your human machine We're the future Your future
