[Verse 1]
We are a proud land, we stand for freedom
We've got the franchise on how to lead them
We've got the history and books to prove it
Give us a mountain and we will move it
We rule the waves and the seven seas
We bring the mighty to their knees
We offer hope and inspiration
A fine example to lesser nations
We are Britannia, the jewel in the crown

[Verse 2]
We brought a system to the masses
Divide the nation into classes
It's in our breeding and on our faces
At least we're all born knowing our places
We stay within our social borders
We only take what our class affords us
It doesn't matter that it's not even
This is the nature of the demon
We are Britannia, the jewel in the crown

[Chorus]
We are Britannia
We crowned an empire
We came and conquered
We tore their borders down
We need no conscience
God is on our side
We are Britannia
The jewel in the crown
[Verse 3]
We are your friendly liberators
We'll free your country from your dictators
For a small slice of your oil wells
We'll send our boys in with their gun shells
We are a refuge for the needy
Always caring, never greedy
Whatever gesture could be finer?
We've given Hong Kong back to China
We are Britannia, the jewel in the crown

[Chorus]
We are Britannia
We crowned an empire
We came and conquered
We tore their borders down
We need no conscience
God is on our side
We are Britannia
The jewel in the crown

[Outro]
Jewel in the crown
The jewel in the crown
The jewel in the crown
