>
> We live in a country called Daftland
> The England we knew is no more
> Where sensible people do ludicrous things
> or risk breaking some Daftland law.
>
> In Daftland we've police dogs with muzzles
> lest the villain has cause to complain
> And to steal from a shop and say 'sorry'
> means you’re free with no stain to your name.
>
> You had better leave lights on in buildings
> when you lock up and go home at night
> 'cause the burglars might hurt themselves entering
> and there's no way you'll be in the right.
>
> When speaking be wary in Daftland
> as some terms that you've used all your life
> Now have connotations unintended
> and you'll end up in all sorts of strife.
>
> We elect politicians in Daftland
> to give us the laws of the land
> Yet eight laws in ten now come from abroad
> The whole thing has got out of hand.
>
> The borders are open in Daftland
> and of migrants there's no keeping track
> Just a few of the thousands illegally here
> will ever be caught and sent back.
>
> The exception to this is the hero
> who fought for this land in the war
> He's old and he's sick, he might cost us a bit
> so he's not welcome here any more.
>
> When the history is written of Daftland
> Historians may just recall
> that the craziest people in Daftland
> were the public who put up with it all.
