Claire Abbott - Great Britain?

Is Britain really that great?
Endlessly sowing the seeds of hate,
Growing its people to thrive on the state.

Has Britain lost its shine?
The Government playing this pantomime,
Taking away whats yours and mine.

Glory gone and lost for good,
Empty ground where industry stood,
We tried to save it, no-one could.

Society gone to rack and ruin,
Banks going bust, people suing,
Action planned, trouble brewing.

Family life desolate,
Teenagers and kids desperate to mate,
What a mess we do create.

The bad parts do not dismiss,
Take a look and answer me this,
Is Britain great? or is something amiss?
