Drinking For England Lyrics - Levellers

Don't fall under temptation 

If drinking for the nation 

Is getting you down 

'Cause it takes a lot of work 

Filling up your belly 

And eating dirt 

It takes a lot of cash 

And a lot of life to get this trash 

But it's easier than paying 

You tie it straight to the mouth 

But it's easier than paying 

You tie it straight to the mouth 

Don't fall under temptation 

If drinking for the nation 

Is dragging you down 

Your country needs you don't deny it 

Drink all you can just don't get high 

And if you feel it start to hurt 

Just buy another 

Say let's get worse 

But it's easier than paying 

You tie it straight to the mouth 

But it's easier than paying 

You tie it straight to the mouth 

Don't fall under temptation 

If drinking for the nation is getting you down 

'Cause every penny that you spend 

Goes to defend, the one you love 

No, it's not mine if you haven't a drink 

No pain no gain, hand in glove 

Don't ever think if thinking brings you down 

Don't ever think if thinking brings you down 

Don't ever think if thinking brings you down 

...
