How sad are we?
And how sad have we been?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if you're really interestedYou wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
But only if you're really interestedWe're all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostileWe will descend
On anyone unable to defend
ThemselvesAnd the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thingWe may seem cold, or we may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever knowYou'll never never want to know
