[verse 1]
the vans they come in convoys now, stealing through the dawn
silent in the countryside, in the hills up to the north
there’s road blocks on the meden bridge, there’s cl!ck, cl!ck cl!cking on the phone
they’re sealing off our villages, they’re sealing off our homes

[verse 2]
her father crossed the battle lines in the first months of the war
she frowns down at the soup kitchen, she doesn’t have a fathеr anymore
it’s cold in the early mornings, standing with your matеs
staring at the thick blue line armed and ready at the gates

[chorus]
this ain’t some tin_pot story arriving from a distant shore
but our own sweet, green, and pleasant land in 1984
two, three, four

[verse 3]
the servants of our great nation have lied in the name of us all
while the officers of peace and order are busy breaking every law
there’s hundreds on trumped_up charges, hundreds on the streets
the future of our villages sown with bitter seeds

[chorus]
and hatred starts to rumble where there was no hate before
in our own sweet, green, and pleasant land in 1984
[post_chorus]
oh
oh_oh_oh

[bridge]
n0body wanted to see the blood
as the blue lights flash through in the night
but all the words fell on deaf ears
and now the blind frustration bites

[outro]
two nations under one crown, divided more and more
in our own sweet, green, and pleasant land
in our own sweet, green, and pleasant land
in our own sweet, green, and pleasant land
