England Lost (feat. Skepta)

I went to see England, but England lost

I went to see England, but England lost

And everyone said we were all ripped off

I went to see England, but England lost

Wasn't much fun standing in the rain

And we get loud and we all complain

Wasn't much of a game

I got soaked

Didn't wanna come anyway

I went to see England, but England lost

I went 'round the back, but they said, piss off

I went to see England, but England lost

I went to see England, but England

I went to see

I went

I

I lost the plot, I think I lost the point

Think I'll go home and smoke a joint

Anyway

Didn't wanna go

I went to find England, it wasn't there

I went to find England, it wasn't there

Think I lost it down the back of my chair

I think I'm losing my imagination

I'm tired of talking about immigration

You can't get in and you can't get out

I guess that's what it's really all about

True, Greece , it's a deja vu

I seen it all before

Different season, same score

Everybody wants your head on a spike

But they were singing your praises a day before

No new faces allowed in

They said it's getting overcrowded

You're still fighting over houses

So I just pick it up, put it down, and leave it where I found it

Feel like Macaulay Culkin, I'm home alone

Come to my window and throw a stone

Because I never wanna talk on the phone

Same problems growing up in the danger zone

Nothing's changed, same story

Same dirty stains on your dirty laundry

People in the streets doing all the work

And the men in the suits taking all the glory

I went to find England, but

I went to find England, but

I went to find England, but

I went to find England, but England's lost

Lost, lost, lost, lost

Lost, lost, lost, lost

Had a girl in Lisbon, a girl in Rome

Now, I'll have to stay at home

So, lock the shutters, bolt the doors

London's gonna be like Singapore

But not as hot

They didn't turn up, the pundits complained

No real passion, it's a national shame

They're much too young and they're much too old

Growing much too hot and much too cold

That's what I thought

I went to find England

I went to find England

I went to find England

I went to find England, but England's lost
