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 interested      You wonder how   We've stayed alive 'till now   We'll let you know   We'll let you know   But only if you're really interested      We're all smiles   Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles   That make us hostile      We will descend   On anyone unable to defend   Themselves      And the songs we sing   They're not supposed to mean a thing      We 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 know      You'll never never want to know
