Great Lyrics by IDLES

Joy as an Act of Resistance.

2018

[Verse 1]
(Listen to more Jungle)
Blighty wants his country back
Fifty-inch screen in his cul-de-sac
Wombic charm of the Union Jack
As he cries at the price of a bacon bap

[Pre-Chorus]
Islam didn't eat your hamster
Change isn't a crime
So won't you take my hand sir
And sing with me in time

[Chorus]
G, r, e, a, t (That's great)
G, r, e, a, t

[Verse 2]
Blighty wants her blue passport
Not quite sure what the union's for
Burning bridges and closing doors
Not sure what she sees on the seashore

[Pre-Chorus]
Islam didn't eat your hamster
Change isn't a crime
So won't you take my hand sister
And sing with me in time

[Chorus]
G, r, e, a, t (That's great)
G, r, e, a, t

[Outro]
(G, r, e, a, t) You can have it all, I don’t mind (That's great)
(G, r, e, a) Just get ready to work overtime
'Cause we’re all in this together
