Verse

We could have been workmen, true artisans

Real strong people, women and man

We could have been heroes sailing the sea

But England's empire doesn't matter to me

I know it's gone, it's gone and I feel free

That's why...

Verse

We could have been saviours

We could have been priests

We could have been something strong and neat

We could have been tidy, we could have been clean

But England's empire is no longer on the scene

And humanity is not so green Alright

Could have been something on the scene

You realize humanity is not so green

That's why...

Verse

Well now I'm sleeping in my bed

Love got a cool and clear head

I see the future, I see it all

And I don't belong to any empire

I'm not going to crawl

And I don't belong to your empire

I'm not going to crawl

That's why...

Chorus

E F♯ A E)
