The Glorious Land (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How is our glorious country ploughed?
Not by iron ploughs
How is our glorious country ploughed?
Not by iron ploughs
Our land is ploughed by tanks and feet
Feet marching
Our land is ploughed by tanks and feet
Feet marching

[Chorus]
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England

[Verse 2]
How is our glorious country sown?
Not with wheat and corn
How is our glorious country sown?
Not with wheat and corn
How is our glorious land bestowed?
How is our glorious land bestowed?

[Chorus]
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England
Oh America, oh England

[Outro]
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
The fruit is deformed children
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
The fruit is deformed children
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
The fruit is orphaned children
What is the glorious fruit of our land?
The fruit is deformed children

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
