Gb D Gb D Gb D D D Bb C F Bb Bb C D D Bb C The great British mistake was looking for a way out, F Bb Was getting complacent, not noticing the pulse was racing. Bb C D The mistake was fighting the change, was staying the same. Bb C It couldn't adapt so it couldn't survive., F Something had to give. Bb Bb The people take a downhill slide into the gloom. C D Into the dark recesses of their minds. Gb D Gb D Gb D D D Am Bm Am Bm Am I swoop over your city like a bird. Bm I climb the high branches and observe. Am Into the mouth, into the soul. Bm I cast a shadow that swallows you whole. Am Bm I swoop, I climb, Am I cling, Bm C Bb A I suck, I swallow you whole. F Bb C String out the drip-feed, they're losing their world, F Bb They're losing their hard boys and magazine girls. Bb C D Advert illegal, T.V. as outlaw, motive as spell. Bb C They'll see the books burn. They'll be 4-5-1. F Bb It's people against things and not against each other. Bb C D Out of the pre-pack, into the fear, into themselves. Bb They're the great British mistake. C F The genie's out of the bottle, call in the magician. Bb They didn't mean to free him, devil behind them, Bb C D devil in the mirror, chained to their right hands. Bb They're the great British mistake. C F They'll have to come to terms now, they'll take it out somehow. Bb They'll blame it all on something. Bb C The British mistake - when will it be over? D How can they avoid it, avoid it, avoid it?
