Britain!
This is the place where we drop lots of litter,
Walk on it, side-step it, kick in the gutter,
Rush past it, don’t notice it, leave for another,
Don’t worry, don’t care & don’t even bother.
But this is the place we could set a new trend,
Learn how to ‘pause’ and learn how to ‘bend’.
Learn how to put all our grot in a bin,
Every package and paper, carton and tin.
The Manchester bombing, 22nd of May
Killed 22 beautiful people that day
So let’s make it a vow that we’ll clean up the streets,
Of fag ends and bottles and wrappers of sweets
A vow to be certain we’ll never forget
By making our country more beautiful yet
Every street, road and pavement a beautiful view
To remember the beautiful, loved, twenty-two.
