Declan McKenna - British Bombs Lyrics
Great snakes, are we moving already?
Good gravy, did you say it cost a penny or two for you?
We're talking 'bout the bad starts
My baby brother has already got a gas mask
'Cause it's a good old-fashioned landslide
In the homemade rope, set sail
Babe, we read it in the Mail, no hope now
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Why does it seem a fever dream for all?
The call you made to me
I worry we shall remember the dead
And we'll remember the dead so they know that we're sorry
But then carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
How could it be the money?
It's the vote that matters to me
You say you're hungry, but you won't eat the caraway seed
Doesn't matter in the wreckage, what should you say?
"Well, I found myself a little peckish last Tuesday"
This is what you signed up for, no questions
Reckon we could offer peace, damn the weapons conventions
Well, it's on the table, but it's no good, can't you hear
All our worries for fear, carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
It's a good old-fashioned landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade rope, set sail
Babe, we read it in the Mail, no hope now
And it's a total fucking whitewash
The people that we might squash
And move from home soil, set sail
For wherever the fuck got oil this time
And if it's not a fucking war crime
It's a total waste of your time
And getting so much worse
Get real, kid, your country's been at war since birth now
And if it's not a fucking outrage, what's it all about then?
Now, it's one on one, wait
Britain's gonna tell you where it all went wrong and then carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen

Declan McKenna is so underrated he is so good oh my god

Salmon fishing in the Yemen 🇾🇪 is a jolly good movie 😬

Steven Quartz Universe Je trouves pas particulièrement perso 🧐

Lyrically, musically and vocally a huge step above anything he's done before
This song is also so important in this day and age
*wow you terifing me man*
Zuper io
I can no longer eat baked beans, thank you.
My daughter put on this song after me telling her I liked political songs.
Fantastic song!
Keep supporting the people that will make your county unrecognisable
The song is good cant say the same for whats happening in the video itself kinda disturbing
a gentle reminder that all the proceeds from this song are going to charity (source: 'Declan McKenna’s fiery “British Bombs” is an uncompromising anti-war song')
Britain: becomes even more fucked up politically every day
Me: aight let's listen to declan's songs and cry
Push the Button & let'm drop
(Wonder when the copyright infringement process will be -
google Sugababes)
i also hate when i’m trying to eat a bowl of beans but the current british political & economical crisis causes me to become aware of my own impending doom due to nuclear warfare and then my house fucking explodes
Diário de anne Frank
Sou Brasileiro e adoro as músicas do jovem Declan , obrigado por existir garoto! 😻

BACKPACKSPEAKERBACKPACKSPEAKERBACKPACKSPEAKER

Vote labour
Please make a politically frustrated song about Italy, believe me, there are enough things to talk about.
Sa passe super bien comme son 👍
Declan I love you. Your music gives me life.
We've been blessed with Declan. He's such a great person.
3:59 haha the beans farted

Iraq’s youth is going throw a crisis right now, hope you shed a light on the current killing of peaceful protestors. #savetheiraqipeople
0:45 why did the amount of beans increase? call a priest
Querido??
This was posted on my birthday???
i don’t know anything ab british politics but judging from the “kids don’t wanna come home”, i don’t think we would agree on politics very much. doesn’t matter cuz i bop to ALL of declan’s songs no matter the meaning.
Makes me proud to be British
3:56 dood’s shirt says “growing lad” i like the attention to detail
Great snakes, are we movin' already?
Good gravy, did you say it cost a penny or two for you?
We're talking 'bout the bad starts
My baby brother has already got a gas mask
'Cause it's a good old-fashioned landslide
Killing with your hands tied
In the homemade rope, set sail
Babe, we read it in The Mail, no hope now
Great way to fool me again, hun'
Great acting, it's good what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Why does it seem
A fever dream for all?
The call you made to me
You said I'll feel
One day each year, a worry
We shall remember the dead
And we'll remember the dead so they know that we're sorry
But then carry on
Great way to fool me again, hun'
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
Great way to fool me again, hun'
Great acting, it's great what you tell 'em
Great Britain won't stand for felons
Great British bombs in the Yemen
How could it be the money? It's the vote that matters to me

Declan is so underrated
thank you king
How hasn’t this gone viral? I can’t even explain how good this song is
Isso é assustadoramente engraçado
Great Fucking Track Man!!! 😎❤️🍻
trop fort
okay tory
Essa música= tudo pra mim🌍
Bien contente d'être tombée là dessus par hasard, quelle époque merveilleuse internet
I'm living outside UK but it makes me curious about what happens there. Tbh I never put my interest in political things but I love music so much. Started listen to The 1975 they tried to brag up things about political issues and you Declan. without you guys I never cares so much about politic and be an apathy young generation which is not cool and dangerous.
A lot of weird things happen here in the uk
J B i googled everything about uk politic especially things about brexit and if i was live there i’ll be really really terrified for what might happen next :( i’m so sorry bro
@Witri Nurul F yeah although brexit might not happen. I hope benefit dosent happen otherwise we'll be screwed
@Witri Nurul F For the most part, the public are only informed about brexit when it comes to UK-involved politics, unless they individually take an interest in something else and go out of their way to hear about it.
Brexit itself is a clusterfuck, and will be a disgrace no matter the outcome. Such is life when the political powers that be are more concerned with fighting each other at every opportunity as opposed to actually serving the country with a little necessary compromise.
I very much hope Brexit doesn't fuck the country, but we're already seeing drawbacks. The NHS is stockpiling medical supplies, and that's actually impacted the medication I take.
Declan is one of my favoite artists,his music is so amazing ,and even more because his lyrics are revolutionary, i was not aware about the war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia (until i heard this song ) and how Declan says, Kingdom United helps to Saudi Arabia, making weapons that are used to kill Yemen inoccent civils, something that many Bristish even dont know ,or dont takl about it, Kingdom United its on war and so many british dont know that, and this is an example ,that how Declan protests ,and give the voice through one of the best way, the art. :3
Declan es uno e mis artistas favoritos ,su musica es genial, y mas aun porque su letras son revolucionarias ,yo no estaba enterada de lo de la guerra de Yemen y Arabia saudi (hasta qe escuche esta cancion) y que como dice Declan el Reino Unido ayuda a esto ,fabricando armas que son utilizadas para matar civiles inocentes del Reino Unido,algo que muchos brutanicos no saben o no hablan de ello, estan en guerra y no saben ,y este es un claro ejemplo de como Declan protesta y da la voz por uno de los mejores medios, muy efectivo, el arte :3
"My baby brother has already got a gas mask" can relate tbh.
Anyone else getting don't hug me i'm scared vibes from the music video??
fundamentally disagree with the message of the song but what a bop
Samuel Snom So you think we should be arming Saudi Arabia in Yemen to continue their genocide?
How do you disagree with this?
Vc é foda
every time i watch this mv i get more scared of eating beans
This song is absolutely fantastic and I can't get enough of it. I'm glad that you're still making music, your songs always have a message that matters and aren't just cheesy love songs. And that's what makes you stand out from the rest! (Not that I don't like cheesy love/break up songs) And it actually slaps really hard too! I remember the first song I heard from you was "why do you feel so down" about a year ago and new that you were definitely an artist to keep an eye out. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us, and keep up the great work! Can't wait for more in the future :)
Spotify has shown me this wonderful song thank u spotify!
is this what she was eating in brew?
i love this video but i think its put me off beans for life
This music video gives me strong “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” vibes.... and the baked beans .... still a good song, though. :)
porra eu amo tantooooo💛
Is this just a insult song to the British
kid ur country has been at war since birth now AND IF ITS NOT A FUCKING OUTRAGE WHAT ITS ALL ABOU THENNN
Pretty good editing
should be number 1
Declan me and my sister listen to your music non stop
Those beans made me uncomfortable
Declan doesn't have 300k followers but some people wearing some make up have more than 1 million? Yeah. Huge proof that the followers don't give you the talent. He deserves so much more
Nobody really realizes how much talent and effort it takes to create a piece of music like this, everyone is brainwashed by internet rappers who all use the same types of beats. Anyone can rap over a beat but not many people have the ability to create beautiful and meaningful music.
the beatles walked so declan could run
Dude found this song on Spotify discover and it's so cool
I'm going crazy over it
That flag . . .
very epic
Declan: My second album isn’t gonna be as political
Also Declan:
I love the fact that Declan one literally has no bad songs, and that you can relate to his songs on a political level as well as like a non political level.
