They say our country's on the rocks and Britain's the greatest They say the blacks get all the jobs, they say that they are lazy A nice girl won't let you have sex enjoys it if you make her The media all twist the facts I read it in the paper
Stands to reason, you've heard it said so it has to be the truth Fact or fiction what's the difference they say it's so But think again repeat mistakes and it's never gonna change And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself what do they know?
They say all cops are bastard thugs they're all a bunch of racists The Scots are mean the Irish mugs at heart all men are rapists Girls today they ask for it I never touched your mother And youngsters now are all on drugs yes, thanks, I'll have another
Stands to reason, mark my words take a tip from one who knows You will know more when you're older they say it's so But come again question it when you see it doesn't fit And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself
So you ask me what's the score Well, I can only say to make up your own mind I'd rather see the whole world die Than you or I believe a lie What do I know?
We had it hard when I was young we used to have such great times A man took pride in what he'd done you should have seen the breadlines To get back to that golden age there must be unemployment But kids today don't want to work they're just out for enjoyment
Stands to reason, it won't change cos it's always been the same People hating, people fighting they say it's so Do you believe that? Perhaps you do but it's only up to you And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself what do they know?
