This is England

This is England:
A nation of wealth
Where most are poor.
This is England:
Our tempers are hot
Because the weather is cold.
This is England:
We made the U.S
And now they have more!
And English idiom
It's called Sod's law.
This is England
Where beer is cheap
Just like fish and chips
On a cold and breezy shore.
This is England
Where the prisons are full
Due to the size of this island
With a population not small.
This is England.
It is home and i love it
Because, despite the above
I'm English, so I rise above it.
Just like the weather, I stay cool,
I stand up tall, try not to fall.
Because I'm English
This is England - we use our minds
Play the system with words
Like a useful tool.
This, is England - most are poor
But we continue to soar.
