Scroobius Pip - Great Britain lyrics

[Intro] Im from a little place called Great Britain But I dont know if I love or hate Britain These words upon my page written Are things that make and break Britain [X2] [Verse 1] One inch to the left to the left Could have been the difference between life and d**h A knife wound to the heart or to the side of the chest Could have been one statistic less See sometimes Great Britain ain't that great Kids getting stabbed at an alarming rate The press with a pa**ion to exaggerate Increasingly clueless heads of state See knife crime knife crime it ain't about knifes Its about young Britain and their ways of life You don't solve knife crime by taking knives at hand You solve it by installing youth wih hope and plans Its got positives though, I swear its true In the south, east, west and the midlands too We got diversity, that shines on through Who makes the best music in the world? We Do! [Hook] x2 Im from a little place called Great Britain But I dont know if I love or hate Britain These words upon my page written Are things that make and break, Britain [Verse 2] In a 2008-2009 government report Violent crime was not listed to increase or decrease It was instead listed as stable Now what I ask you is Is stable really acceptable? See between 2003 and 2008 The number of children admitted into NHS hospitals with knife wounds Saw a rise of 120 per cent So in my eyes 2008 and 2009s stability Just marks that cards as desensitised But statistics can be twisted And our contexts arent realistic And with despising moments simplistic We need to fight this and resist it! [Hook] x4
